(3) Support in terms of Disaster Risk Assessments

As to comply with Section 53 1(a)(b) of the Disaster Management Act 57 of 2002 as amended, and in an effort to support Municipalities in completing a Disaster Risk Assessment, the Western Cape Disaster Management Centre (WCDMC) has been, in collaboration with Disaster Management Centres in the Districts, conducting a Disaster Risk Assessment for the municipalities in accordance with the Western Cape Standard Risk Assessment Methodology.
