The summit aims to address shortcomings in the disaster management space, which includes capacity building, realignment of policies to factor in climate change, and the activation of local structures at ward level to ensure well-coordinated responses to disaster incidents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cAs a province, we have been on the receiving end of bad weather patterns which have left a trail of death and destruction in their wake. During the previous year, we experienced incidents, such as tornadoes, cyclonic winds, floods and hailstorms. In 2019 we lost 208 innocent lives in these incidents while in the previous year we had experienced 163 fatalities. These numbers are too high and this summit aims to respond to these challenges through the realignment and reassessment of policies on; Disaster Risk Management, Mitigation, Preparedness and Sustainable Development at a local level and provincial level\u201d said Hlomuka.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The province has disaster management centres located in each district whose primary role is to plan and react to disaster incidents. Hlomuka has vowed to support municipalities in their quest to beef up capacity. \u201cWe will be working with our municipalities to ensure that they allocate sufficient budgets for disaster management for things like connectivity, personnel and equipment,\u201d added Hlomuka.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;
