A Message from the Head of the National Disaster Management Centre
“Disaster risk knowledge should be shared. This portal is a collective endeavour between the South African National Disaster Management Centre and several South African Universities. We aim to provide a collection of the most cutting edge research in South Africa in the field of disaster risk and resilience.”
