Emergency services raise summer alert

The Disaster and Emergency Management Services (DEMS) of Ekurhuleni has embarked on a Summer Safety Campaign to alert different communities within the metro on the dangers relating to different weather patterns.

William Ntladi, spokesperson for Ekurhuleni emergency services, says that most emergencies such as drowning, floods, storm, lightning strikes, including hail, which have a devastating effect to life and properties, are anticipated and they are on a high alert for such challenges.

“Citizens are once again alerted to be vigilant as far activation of the Disaster and Emergency Services Departments are concerned.”

He says for all life-threatening emergencies, individuals are encouraged to use their paid emergency direct number, 011 458 0911, or toll free numbers of 10177 and 112.

“The call centre, as always, is also ready for the high volume of calls that are expected during unusual weathers throughout the summer season,” says Ntladi.
