Flood Relief Process

After the flood, a team of agricultural engineeringspecialists assesses the damage (preliminary)

This information is fed to the Provincial DisasterManagement Unit, who then prepares a report for cabinet,which then submits this decision (disaster) to thePresidency for a disaster declaration

After the declaration, then different national Departmentsapproach national Treasury for funds

After the funds are secured then the DoA and PDA agree

and enter into a framework agreement Staff then has to assess, verify and analyse individualclaims in terms of the framework

And only after this verification process is completed,payments can be made
