Minimising risk

After 29 years of service, Wilhelm Markus still has a pride of belonging.

Starting in emergency services, Wilhelm took every opportunity to study further and is now our Director of Administration and Emergency Services.

Key elements of his portfolio includes Municipal Health, Environmental Management, Community Development, Disaster Management and Fire Services.

Weskus Distrik recently won an award for environmental and coastal management.

With the recent downpour fresh in our minds, the damage caused could have been much worse if our rivers had been overgrown and storm drains were blocked.

One cannot control the weather but you can plan to minimise the impact of Mother Earth.

After 29 years of public service, the safety and well-being of his community remains Wilhelm’s calling.
