  8. ALIEN VEGETATION IMPACT ON WILDFIRE RISK

  9. Disaster Planning: Ongoing, Dynamic Process CANNOT occur In Isolation Nature

  10. General comments- Flood related data • Detailed flood mapping focussed on coastal areas; • Rural areas poorly covered; • Constrained by lack of topographical data eg. Lidardata; • Large amount of local knowledge un-captured (To be included); • Flood data not well managed – lack of metadata, reports etc. • Focus on flood extent and frequency- very little on consequences; • Flood data not translated into practical actions (Risk reduction projects); • Data not integrated with other decision making processes – development; • No flood data management protocol – information flow (One database); • No standard guidelines for flood mapping; • Access missing data and reports – Gorra, flood severity data;

  11. Local Solutions for Local Challenges

  12. EARLY WARNING= THE KEY TO SAVING LIVES AND LIMIT THE IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES

  13. Standardization of Alert Categories:Reflecting Increasing Urgency of Hazard Risk FCAST-PRE-20110323.001.1

  14. PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM FOR ALERTS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA INPUTS WEATHER ALERTS disseminated to: • Remote Sensing • Satellite (geostationary, meteorological) • Scatterometer data from Polar orbiters (Jason, ASCAT etc) • Shore-based marine radar PRIMARY ROLE PLAYERS • South African Weather Service website • Media(National TV, printed media, internet news, radio (regional and national) INPUTS FEEDBACK • Realtime data • Moored buoys (CSIR, waverider etc) • Metocean drifting buoys • Tide gauges • Ship-based Met Obs (VOS) • National disaster Management Centre (NDMC MHEWS website) • Provincial Disaster Management centres (PDMC) • District and Local Municipal Disaster Management Centres • Other Primary users as listed but not limited to 7.2.2 INPUTS • Numeric weather Prediction (NWP)Models: • Atmosphere • Ocean waves (open water) PROCESSING (Ref Chapter 6) Preliminary risk assessment by partner groups/agencies ALERT LEVEL ASSESSMENT (Ref Chapter 8.3) Predicted astronomical tide data (SA Navy) SECONDARY ROLE PLAYERS OUTPUT Severe weather alert issued Bathymetry of near-shore environment. • Local Disaster Management • Ward councilors • Traditional leaders • Other role players as listed, but not limited to 7.2.3 CSIR: Modelling of nearshore/ Inshore transition of waves from open ocean to inshore

  21. Disaster management- Way Forward • Completion of the Eden severe weather early warning system; • (Partial funding from SANTAM – Business adopt a municipality (BaaM); • Unpack the 2013 risk assessment at local authority level- Disaster advisory forums; • Update disaster management plans for the Eden District and the local • municipalities – review ,assess and update; • Update provincial and other response plans : i.e. oils spill contingency plans / • dam safety plans and ACSA safety plan; • Capacity building, awareness campaigns etc.
