The positive impact following the collaboration of Weskus Distrik Municipality’s Disaster Management team, Provincial Traffic, and SAPS has exceeded initial expectations, harnessing scarce resources to improve safety and security in the region.
Faster response times, enhanced communications and coordinated reporting are three key operational areas which have improved.
The agencies are working well as a team as they collaborate and overcome legacy challenges such as associated jurisdictional conflicts. The team has created unity of purpose through joint training, shared protocols, and regular coordination.
Part of the glue that binds Weskus Distrik’s Disaster Management, Provincial Traffic and SAPS is a greater understanding of each other’s challenges and this has created an efficient solution for crisis management in the Weskus region.
The unique partnership of key Weskus agencies is showing tangible and demonstrable benefits.
