    EDEN DROUGHT STATUS QUO A DISASTER MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE 8 MARCH 2018 BACKGROUND • The Garden Route is prone to natural disasters (floods, fires, drought) this is exacerbated by the imminent threat of climate change that is expected to raise temperatures and reduce rainfall; • The main factors that exacerbate the effects of the disasters include both environmental as well as man-made challenges; • To protect the environment and to respond to potential disasters, some mitigation measures are already in place at local municipal level and on district level a draft Eden Climate Change Adaptation Plan has been compiled and a dedicated Disaster Management Centre, based in George, has been established; • However, a broader approach is required to accelerate the movement to become “the greenest district in Africa” as well as to ensure water security at all local towns in the district; • Water security is a substantial challenge: Many towns in the district only have limited bulk water storage capacity; Alien invasive trees consume up to 5 billion liters of water annually across Eden, and Due to damaged wetlands the natural ability of this “natural barrier” to regulate and filter water is inhibited; LINES OF COMMUNICATION NDMC→PDMC→MDMC NATIONAL CENTRE PROVINCIAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT CENTRE 6 REGIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT CENTRES DM DM CITY OF DM DM DM CAPE OVERBERG BOLAND EDEN CENTRAL WEST TOWN KAROO COAST PROVINCIAL - SANDF DEPARTMENTS - SAPS - AND OTHER STATE DEPARTMENTS - NGO’S 24 LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES - PARASTATALS (ESCOM/SPOORNET/ACSA, ETC)

  • George Municipality
    GEORGE MUNICIPALITY INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN PREPARED BY OCTAGONAL DEVELOPMENT MAY 2002 PREFACE This document contains the first draft for the preparation of an integrated development plan. It is for discussion and comments only. Although the Municipal Council considered some policy issues such as the seven key development areas, this document must still be submitted to and considered by the Municipal Council. This will only take place after the period for public comments have lapsed, probably towards the end of May 2002. Comments can be forwarded to Me T Bester at one of the following addresses: P O Box 19 GEORGE 6530 FAX: 044 873 3776 E-mail [email protected] People who can not read or write may approach Me T Bester personally on the first floor of the Civic Centre to submit comments verbally, or contact her at (044) 801 9106. The staff and consultants, who prepared this report, and who have been interacting with thousands of residents at workshops, public meetings and on personal level in the last two years, were impressed, not only by the number of people who were willing to participate, but also by the quality of inputs. It was a positive learning experience. GEORGE 2 April 2002 VOORWOORD Hierdie dokument bevat die eerste konsep vir die voorbereiding van ‘n Geintegreerde Ontwikkelingsplan (GOP). Dit is vir bespreking en kommentaar alleenlik. Alhoewel die Munisipale Raad sekere beleidsaspekte soos die sewe sleutel ontwikkelings areas oorweeg het, moet hierdie dokument nog aan genoemde Raad voorgelê en oorweeg word. Dit sal eers plaasvind nadat die tydperk vir openbare kommentaar verstryk het, waarskynlik teen die einde van Mei May 2002.

  • 92 Chapter 6 Research Context 6.1 Introduction This Chapter Outlines
    Chapter 6 Research Context In the democratic South African city we find that “the spatial patterns of apartheid are effectively being recreated” (Berrisford, 1999:4; quoted in Huchzermeyer, 2001: 319). 6.1 Introduction This chapter outlines the geographical, developmental and disaster risk context of George. Such an overview is essential to any disaster risk assessment of an area particularly when bearing in mind the discussions in section 4.3.1 around the urban risk context. Finally key findings of the three extreme weather events from which the research emerges are presented. 6.2 Geographical Context of George George is a small city along the south coast of the Western Cape Province of South Africa. It falls under the Eden District Municipality (EDM) of the Western Cape Province, also referred to as the Southern Cape or often the Garden Route because of its pristine natural landscape. The exact geographical position of George is at 34°00’S; 22°23’E (see map 6.1). The EDM is divided into seven local municipalities these include: Bitou Municipality, Knysna Municipality, George Municipality, Kannaland Municipality, Hessequa Municipality, Mossel Bay Municipality, and Oudtshoorn Municipality. George is a large town, but its local government for economic reasons refer to it as a city. Furthermore, George is the economic hub of the EDM and the second largest urban settlement after Cape Town in the Western Cape Province (Thomas, 2005). The George municipality includes not only the ‘town’ of George but also other surrounding settlements, resorts and rural areas which collectively are referred to as the George Municipality.
