STELLENBOSCH \u2013<\/strong> Die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US)<\/a> het Maandag 8 Desember geskiedenis gemaak toe hy die eerste eredoktorsgraad aan ‘n rampbestuurder toegeken het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colin Deiner, hoofdirekteur van Rampbestuur en Brand- en Reddingsdienste in die Wes-Kaap, het die graad Doktor in Ingenieurswese (DEng) honoris causa<\/em> tydens die Desember-gradeplegtigheidseremonie van die Fakulteit Ingenieurswese ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die toekenning erken Deiner se onwrikbare toewyding aan die redding van lewens, sy bydraes tot die bevordering van rampbestuur en -reaksiedienste, asook sy vrygewigheid om sy kundigheid oor diverse platforms te deel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘n Voorreg en eer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In sy aanvaardingstoespraak het Deiner sy dankbaarheid uitgespreek en die betekenis van hierdie erkenning beklemtoon. “Dit is moeilik om in woorde uit te druk wat dit beteken om vandag hier te staan en ‘n eredoktorsgraad te ontvang,” het hy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Dit is ‘n groot voorreg op sigself om dit van die US te ontvang, ‘n instelling wat daarvoor bekend is dat dit ingenieurs oplewer wat ons land, ons toekoms vorm.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deiner het bygevoeg dat hy die eer aanvaar “nie net persoonlik nie, maar namens almal in die ramp- en noodbestuursdienste”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rampbestuur as ingenieurswetenskap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Die eredoktorsgraadhouer het beklemtoon dat hierdie erkenning ‘n belangrike verskuiwing in die persepsie van rampbestuur verteenwoordig \u2013 van ‘n reaktiewe diens na ‘n ingenieursuitdaging wat wetenskaplike noukeurigheid en innoverende denke vereis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Natuur- en tegnologiese rampe, gebouineenstortings, industri\u00eble ongelukke en mislukkings van stelsels wat eens as robuust beskou is, is nie ge\u00efsoleerde voorvalle nie, maar simptome van ‘n w\u00eareld onder geweldige omgewings-, klimaats- en maatskaplike druk,” het Deiner verduidelik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het die kruisverbinding tussen ingenieurswese en rampbestuur beklemtoon: “Rampe gebeur by die kruispunt van mense, infrastruktuur en omgewing. Daardie kruispunt is die domein van ingenieurswese.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingenieurswese as ruggraat van veerkragtigheid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Met ‘n kragtige boodskap aan die ingenieursgraduandi het Deiner die kritiese rol van ingenieurswese in rampvoorkoming uitgelig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ingenieurswese is die stille ruggraat van veerkragtigheid,” het hy ges\u00ea. “Goeie ingenieurswese red meer lewens voor ‘n ramp as wat enige noodspan tydens ‘n ramp kan doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internasionale ervaring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Deiner word internasionaal erken vir sy uitgebreide kundigheid in rampbestuur en het Suid-Afrikaanse soek- en reddingspanne na talle internasionale rampe gelei, insluitende aardbewings in Turkye (1999), Indi\u00eb (2001), Pakistan (2005), Ha\u00efti (2010) en Japan (2011).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plaaslik het hy ‘n leidende rol in die hantering van groot rampe soos die 2017 Knysna-brandramp, die 2024 George-bouramp, vloede in KwaZulu-Natal (2022), en die koordinering van die droogterampveldtog (Dag Zero) in die Wes-Kaap gespeel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017 is hy deur die Rampbestuursinstituut van Suider-Afrika vir buitengewone diens aan die rampbestuursberoep erken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Akademiese samewerking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Deiner het sy kennis wyd gedeel deur gereeld tot bedryfspublikasies oor rampbestuur by te dra en met verskeie departemente van die US saam te werk, insluitende Brandingenieurswese, die Navorsingsalliansie vir Ramp- en Risikovermindering (RADAR), en die Afdeling Noodgeneeskunde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die toekenning van die eredoktorsgraad bevestig die US se erkenning van rampbestuur as ‘n kritiese ingenieursdissipline en Deiner se uitsonderlike bydraes tot die veld.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
