Incident Management Training

With reference to the DMA, Article 39 (2) (k) for provinces and 53 (2) (k) for municipalities, the DMPs of these entity’s must:

# contain contingency plans and emergency procedures in the event of a disaster, providing for:

Facilitate a ‘DRM Indaba’, ‘DRM Awareness Workshop’ or similar activity for key decision-makers at the highest level of an organ of state, organisation, municipality, province etc.; and
Facilitate establishing an Integrated and Multi-disciplinary DRM Structures (forums / committees / task teams) to provide a platform for the active participation of DRM and Development-related role-players.

This is further expanded in the NDMF section 4.3 describing “Integrated response and recovery”.

DMS NPC has therefore developed the “Incident Management Training” to assist municipalities/organizations/institutions in their quest to adhere to the requirements of the DMA and NDMF.
