5.2. Hazard Maps and Vulnerability Maps 5.2.1. Veld Fires

Fire has a fundamental role of sustaining biodiversity, but if it is not managed properly it may result in ecosystem degradation. Veld fires can have severe impacts on the environment like loss of biodiversity and ecologically sensitive areas, and air pollution from smoke. There are also environmental factors or processes that increase the susceptibility of the environment to impacts of veld fires. These factors like environmental degradation, topography and weather play an important role in increasing vulnerability to veld fires. Veld fires have been a persistent problem in Jozini Municipality area and this situation has worsened over the past several years due to global warming coupled with the drought situation the municipality is currently faced with. The Municipality is experiencing devastating veld and structural fires across all wards especially during the winter/dry season.

2019/2020 IDP

2019/2020 FY


Section 53 of the Disaster Management Act (Act 57 of 2002) deals with disaster management plans for municipal areas. Section 53 ( 1) (k) of the Act prescribes that a disaster management plan must contain contingency plans and emergency procedures in the event of a disaster, providing for prompt disaster response and relief and the procurement of essential goods and services. The Municipality set aside Disaster management budget annually for the purchase of relief materials in the form of tents, blankets, food parcels and plastic sheeting, lighting conductors and food parcels. This material is provided to victims of disasters or serious incidents when necessary. Advisory forum and Joint Operation Committee (JOC) are structures that are always activated to discuss issues pertaining to response and recovery measure that must be put in place. Both structures are made up stakeholders that have a role to play in terms of Disaster Management.

7.4 Grant funding allocated for post-disaster recovery (where applicable)

Jozini Municipality has submitted an application to the Department of Human Settlement and awaiting response for a grant funding to assist households that were affected disaster incidents that occurred in December 2018 and January 2019. The Jozini Municipality have received post-disaster recovery intervention from Sassa in a form of food parcels, DSD in a form of food parcels and counselling, Shoprite also intervenes with blankets, soups and breads when the Municipality had a major flooding incident in its jurisdiction. UMkhanyakude District also provides relief material when needed and installed 10 lightning conductors to lightning victims and Provincial Disaster Management also assisted with relief materials, temporal shelters and installed 45 lightning conductors to Disaster victims.

8 INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION

However the Municipality is making use of the District Disaster Communication Centre in this regard. The municipality has a cell phone that is monitored by the Fire Department that receive emergency incidents.

8.4 Communication system

The Municipality relies on the information reported at the Jozini Fire Station and the District Disaster Management Centre. The District control room activates all relevant stakeholders to attend any disaster incidents that have been reported.


2019/2020 IDP

2019/2020 FY


The affected Municipality will ensure that they conduct assessments of the incidents. A report of all incidents is communicated to the District Disaster Centre in a form of an interim report and monthly reports. These reports are then forwarded by the District to the Province which finally reaches National Disaster Management Centre.

8.5 Early Warning Strategy The Municipal Disaster Management is linked with South African Weather Service who sends warnings if there are any extreme weather conditions. The information is disseminated to local Disaster Management Stakeholders and Councillors via cell phone messages. The Municipality is relying on the Councillors in dissemination of the information to the Community.

9 EDUCATION, TRAINING, PUBLIC AWARENESS AND RESEARCH

9.3 Planned Capacity Building Programmes Sections 15 and 20(2) of the Disaster Risk Management Act (Act 57 of 2002) specifies the promotion of capacity building, training and education throughout the Republic, including in schools, and, to the extent that it may be appropriate. This key performance area addresses the development of education and training for disaster risk management and associated professions as well as the inclusion of disaster risk management and risk-avoidance programmes in school curricula. It also outlines that awareness needs to be created within the community. For example community and school awareness campaigns etc.

Disaster Management Sections annually puts aside a budget to conduct awareness campaigns in schools, war-rooms, communities, traditional leaders, councillors and other stakeholders. During these awareness campaigns, disaster awareness pamphlets are given to the participants. The Municipality is in the process of deploying volunteers in all 20 Wards, these volunteers will also be capacitated on disaster management including disaster awareness campaigns. These campaigns will assist in prevention or mitigation of disaster incidents. The volunteer programmes have started in the Municipality and have recently appointed 4 Fire fighter volunteers and they will also assist with the Disaster reported incidents. There is also a budget allocation for the training of the Disaster personnel.

9.4 Planned Public Awareness Campaigns The Municipality annually plans to conduct 8 disaster awareness campaigns in every. These awareness campaigns are targeted for schools, communities, traditional leaders, and now will be cascaded to the volunteers once they have been appointed. Jozini Municipality is also utilizing Maputaland radio station to warn the community of the Climate change and special precautions to be taken when such incident occurs.
