City activates Disaster Operations Centre to mitigate impacts of higher load-shedding stages Although City-supplied customers remain on Stage 4 for the most part following Eskom's announcement that it is moving to Stage 6, the City's transversal Disaster Operations Centre has been activated to mitigate any potential impacts for the residents
of Cape Town.
The Disaster Operations Centre is coordinated by the City's Safety and Security Directorate, and includes a host of City departments.
A range of identified priorities are being dealt with, including ensuring maximum deployment in areas affected by prolonged power outages; redirecting enforcement and emergency service resources where necessary and conducting point duty at major intersections affected by load-shedding.
All services are also on standby to deal with any public safety issues that may arise, as nightfall sets in.
