The Disaster and Emergency Management Services (DEMS) of Ekurhuleni has once again embarked on a Summer Safety Campaign to alert different communities within the metro about the dangers relating to different weather patterns.
Most emergencies, such as drowning, floods and storms, including hail storms and lightning strikes, can have a devastating effect on people’s lives and their property.
DEMS is on a high alert for such challenges.
“Residents are once again alerted to be vigilant as far activation of the Disaster and Emergency Services Departments are concerned,” said William Ntladi, media liaison officer for DEMS.
“For all life threatening emergencies, individuals are advised to use our paid emergency direct number, which is 011 458-0911, or the toll free numbers, 10177 and 112.
“The call centre, as always, is also ready for the high volume of calls that are expected during unusual weather throughout the summer season.”
