(2) (a) A municipal Disaster Management Centre must at the same time that its report is submitted to the municipal council in terms of subsection (1), submit a copy report to the National Centre and the Disaster Management Centre of the province concerned.” 4. DISCUSSION The mission of the City of Tshwane Disaster Management Centre is to maximise the disaster resistance of Tshwane’s residents and communities, its public and private sectors and its economy through the coordination of all-hazard prevention and preparedness, and mitigation, response and recovery activities within the framework of sustainable development. The Disaster Management Centre experienced many successes in the 2015/16 financial year that we are proud to highlight in the annual report. The various interest groups can also depend on the capabilities of Disaster Management Officers to improve service continuously. The annual report provides insight into disaster management activities during the 2015/16 financial year. It outlines prevention and mitigation initiatives, disasters or local incidents that occurred during the year and their magnitude, problems experienced in dealing with them and the way they were addressed, updating of Section 52 and 53 of Disaster Management Plans and strategies, and the evaluation of the implementation of such plans. 5. COMMENTS OF THE STAKEHOLDER DEPARTMENTS 5.1 COMMENTS OF THE GROUP CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER Cognisance is taken of the contents of the report. There are no financial implications emanating as a result of this report on the City of Tshwane’s budget, since the purpose of the report is to inform Council about the Disaster Management Annual Report of 2015/16, which is to be sent to the Gauteng Disaster Management Centre for incorporation with the National Disaster Management Centre Annual Report. 5 The Group Financial Services Department will render further financial comments on future reports in this regard. 5.2 COMMENTS OF THE GROUP LEGAL COUNSEL The purpose of the report is to inform Council about the Disaster Management Annual Report of 2015/16, which must be submitted to the Gauteng Disaster Management Centre for incorporation in the National Disaster Management Centre’s Annual Report. Note is taken of the contents of the report for purposes of these comments. It transpires from the report that the tabling thereof before Council is a legislative requirement in terms of section 50 of the Disaster Management Act, 57 of 2002, as expounded in the report. Cognisance may therefore be taken of the Annual Disaster Management Report as recommended. 6. IMPLICATIONS 6.1 HUMAN RESOURCES Reporting is a routine function of disaster management, so no additional personnel are required. 6.2 FINANCES None. 6.3 CONSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL FACTORS Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 Disaster Management Act, 57 of 2002 Disaster Management Framework, 2005 6.4 COMMUNICATION None. 6.5 PREVIOUS COUNCIL OR MAYORAL COMMITTEE RESOLUTIONS None. 7. CONCLUSION To order to comply with Legislation, Emergency Services Department: Disaster Management Division must compile an annual report, for submission to the Council for approval. 6 Once the report has been approved, it is then submitted to the Gauteng Disaster Management Centre who subsequently submits the report to National Disaster Management Centre for incorporation into the consolidated report on the status of disaster management in South Africa. The Mayoral Committee on 18 January 2017 resolved to recommend to Council as set out below: ANNEXURE: A.
