Disaster Management in South Africa Global Climate Research on prevention Early warning systems Field detection Public health infrastructure Treatment mechanisms Global Climate change is one of the Grand Challenge focus areas. Important changes are taking place in the global climate areas but there is still a lot of uncertainty in terms of our understanding of how earth systems operate. The country needs to develop responses, research on prevention and early warning systems, field detection, public health infrastructure requirements and treatment mechanisms also need to be strengthened.

Emerging Sector needs Disaster aid strategies to be in place before disaster strikes Speedy response and support To be managed and coordinated collectively by all stakeholders involved i.e. Government (DAFF), Organised Agriculture, Financial Institutions, Input Suppliers, etc.
