KwaZulu Natal (KZN) Provincial Disaster Management Centre, and after
assessing the magnitude and severity of the impact of the severe weather events
occurring in various municipal areas of the KZN province that resulted in the loss

heavy rain, flooding, strong winds, landslides etc., and after having considered

Management Centre, hereby give notice that on 13 April 2022, in terms of
Section 23(1)(b) of the Disaster Management Act, 2002 (Act No. 57 of 2002), I
classified these occurrences as a provincial disaster.

terms of section 40 read with section 23(8) of the Act, the primary responsibility

I hereby, in terms of Section 15(2)(aA) of the Act, read with section 23(8), call
upon organs of state to further strengthen support to existing structures to
implement contingency arrangements and ensure that measures are put in place
to enable the KZN Province to effectively deal with the effects of this disaster.
