western cape activates disaster response as floods hit

The Western Cape government says a coordinated disaster response remains underway as severe weather continues to affect parts of the province, with the Garden Route and Central Karoo among the hardest-hit areas.

Acting Premier Ivan Meyer and acting provincial MEC for Local Government Anroux Marais on Thursday outlined measures being implemented in response to the intense cut-off low weather system.

A Joint Operations Centre has been activated through the Provincial Disaster Management Centre to coordinate relief efforts as localised flooding, road closures and evacuations continue across affected municipalities.
