As Cape Town continues to be lashed by storms, Disaster Risk Management has stepped up their contingency plans to assist hundreds of people affected by the rain.
According to Disaster Risk Management spokesperson Charlotte Powell, 1200 people living in informal dwellings have been subjected to wet, uncomfortable living conditions since the heavy storms hit the Cape last week.
“In terms of relief, we have provided them with hot meals and blankets. The city’s housing department has also provided them with flood kits to do maintenance around their dwellings,” said Powell.
