How prepared is Drakenstein for disaster? This is how the title reads in the
Paarl Postarticle of 21 January 2021, after the question had been posed whether, if a major disaster, natural or man-made, occurred in the region, the municipality would be well prepared for it.
As a current final-year BA: Disaster & Safety Management student I did some research into just how prepared the Drakenstein Municipality (DM) is by acquiring the Disaster Management Plan and the Covid-19 Management Plan.
I have also acquired the Disaster Management Plan of the City of Cape Town, and I must say in terms of the Disaster Management Act (Act 57 of 2002) we lack quite a few items that should have been stated or noted in the Disaster Management Plan.
