Join us for the seminar “Innovation in Disaster Management: Policy, Early Warning & Decision-Support”, co-hosted with the Department of Science, Technology, and Innovation (DSTI). This online event explores how emerging technologies, data-driven tools, and policy innovations are transforming the way we prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.
With climate-related risks intensifying and urban vulnerabilities becoming more complex, effective disaster management requires integrating multi-hazard early warning systems, decision-support platforms, and people-centred approaches into planning and response frameworks.
Drawing on insights from policy experts, researchers, practitioners, and technology developers, this session will:
Highlight innovative solutions and practical tools that strengthen disaster resilience.
Explore strategies to enhance preparedness and reduce disaster impacts across South Africa and beyond.
Feature municipal perspectives on embedding innovation in disaster risk reduction and everyday service delivery.
