Verwoestende brande kom gereeld in baie van Suid-Afrika se meer as 4 000 informele nedersettings en in agterplaaswonings voor, wat duisende mense dakloos laat en tot talle sterftes lei, s\u00ea prof. Richard Walls, hoof van die navorsingseenheid vir brandingenieurswese aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verlede jaar het nie minder nie as 190 mense net in informele nedersettingsbrande in Kaapstad gesterf, terwyl nog honderde ontheem is. Soortgelyke syfers kom oral in die land voor, aangesien verdigting die risiko verhoog dat \u2019n brand deur informele nedersettings en in agterplase versprei, waar vlambare materiale gebruik word om strukture te bou, s\u00ea Walls. Hoewel hierdie brande verreikende gevolge het, bied owerhede bitter min oplossings om \u2019n herhaling hiervan te voorkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cN\u00e1 groot brande kom entrepreneurs dikwels na vore en bemark kitsoplossingsoplossings aan politici om gemeenskappe te help beskerm. Watter wetenskaplike grondslag is daar egter vir die evaluering van brandveiligheidsoplossings vir informele nedersettings, en wat kan gedoen word om hulle te beskerm?\u201d vra Walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die US en die Wes-Kaapse regering het in reaksie op die gebrek aan wetenskaplike oplossings kragte saamgesnoer om \u2019n gids met brandingenieursriglyne vir informele nedersettings, getiteld Fire safety engineering guidline for informal settlements<\/i> \u2013 \u2019n eerste in die w\u00eareld \u2013 te ontwikkel. Die gids, wat onlangs vrygestel is en verwante brosjures, plakkate en opleidingsvideo\u2019s insluit, is op jare se uitgebreide toetsing en navorsing oor brandveiligheid in informele nedersettings deur die US en vennote gegrond, verduidelik Walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kindling, \u2019n internasionale nieregeringsorganisasie (NRO) vir die bevordering van brandveiligheid in lae-inkomstelande, het saam met die Navorsingsalliansie vir Ramp- en Risikovermindering (RADAR), wat by die US gesetel is, met die werk gehelp. Verder was die Stad Kaapstad se brand- en reddingsdienste deur middel van die Milnerton-brandweerstasie betrokke. Die Wes-Kaapse departement van infrastruktuur (voorheen menslike nedersettings) het gehelp om die werk te finansier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die reeks opleidingsmateriale, wat vrylik beskikbaar is, bestaan uit \u2019n boek van bykans 140 bladsye, wat gedetailleerde riglyne bied oor onderwerpe wat van brandveiligheidstrategie\u00eb tot oorwegings vir die gebruik van rookverklikkers wissel. \u2019n Reeks opleidingsvideo\u2019s, wat deur die bekende videograaf Justin Sullivan vervaardig is, maak die tegniese inhoud meer toeganklik vir die publiek, verduidelik Walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NRO\u2019s kan die brosjures, wat in verskeie tale beskikbaar is, gebruik om moontlike oplossings en strategie\u00eb te identifiseer om die uitwerking van brandrampe te verminder. \u201cWat belangrik is, is dat hierdie handleiding nie \u2019n brandveiligheidshandboek is nie. Dit is op proewe, ontledings en konsultasies met geaffekteerde gemeenskappe gegrond en vir praktisyns, NRO\u2019s en burgerlike groepe geskryf,\u201d s\u00ea Walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die werk beklemtoon die belangrikheid daarvan om te besef dit is \u2019n ingewikkelde probleem,wat slegs deur \u2019n multisektorale reaksie verbeter kan word. Dit moet kwessies soos die vermindering van die risiko van ontbranding, die verskaffing van vroe\u00eb-waarskuwing-stelsels, gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid, goed toegeruste en goed voorbereide brandweerdienste, die vermindering van die vlambare aard van huise en ander soortgelyke faktore teiken, voeg Walls by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGeen kitsoplossings bestaan nie. Hoewel informele nedersettings \u00e9n brande in informele nedersettings hier is om te bly, kan die navorsing en riglyne wat gelewer word, help om te verseker dat ons ingrypings die grootste invloed teen die laagste koste het. Ons kan ook nou \u2018oplossings\u2019 wat nie eintlik werk nie, vinniger identifiseer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Robyn Pharoah, \u2019n sosiale wetenskaplike van RADAR by die US, beklemtoon brandveiligheidsintervensies moet gemeenskaplik geskik wees. \u201cWanneer \u2019n onvanpaste toestel op \u2019n gemeenskap sonder hul betrokkenheid afgedwing word, is dit onwaarskynlik dat dit die gewenste uitwerking sal h\u00ea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tertuis Simmers, die Wes-Kaapse provinsiale minister van infrastruktuur, het die volgende oor die uitwerking van gereelde brande te s\u00ea: \u201cBrandveiligheid in informele nedersettings is \u2019n groot bron van kommer vir die hele Wes-Kaapse regering aangesien elke jaar gemiddeld 1 260 brandvoorvalle aangemeld word.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simmers s\u00ea die provinsiale regering verwelkom die inisiatief, aangesien dit \u2019n onderneming toon om nie net brandveiligheid nie, maar ook die gesondheid en waardigheid van mense wat in informele huise woon, te verbeter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVeiligheid is een van die Wes-Kaapse regering se prioriteite en daarom ondersteun ons programme vir voorspraak en verbruikersopvoeding oor brandveiligheid ten volle. Ons streek ervaar verwoestende brande in informele nedersettings en veldbrande gedurende die somer. Hierdie materiaal kon dus nie op \u2019n beter tyd bekendgestel geword het nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark Smith, \u2019n brandbestryder van Milnerton, en wat al op talle brande in die Du Noon- informele nedersetting gereageer het en ook \u2019n medeskrywer van die Fire safety engineering guidline for informal settlements<\/i> is, stem saam oor die belangrikheid daarvan om die probleem saam met die betrokke gemeenskappe aan te pak. \u201cHierdie brande is uiters moeilik om te blus. Huise wat dig op mekaar gebou is, lei tot brande wat baie vinnig versprei. Smal strate en stegies, mense wat ontruim, laaghangende brande en \u2019n gebrek aan water maak ons werk baie moeilik. As die plaaslike gemeenskap ons egter help, kan dit \u2019n groot invloed h\u00ea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Danielle Antonellis, die stigter van Kindling, stem saam en s\u00ea om riglyne te h\u00ea, wat op navorsing gegrond is en nie net op kitsoplossingsoplossings nie, sal mense bemagtig om hul eie veiligheid en vinnige reaksie op noodgevalle te verseker. \u201cDit gaan oor mense se reg om veilig te wees en in hulle huise veilig te voel, ongeag of hulle in \u2019n informele nedersetting of elders woon. Sosiotegniese benaderings is broodnodig om gemeenskappe te sentreer en institusionele hulpbronne en ondersteuning te bring.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kindling, \u2019n organisasie sonder winsbejag in die VSA, is in 2020 gestig om brandveiligheid in kwesbare gemeenskappe oor die w\u00eareld heen te ondersteun en aan te moedig. \u201cOplossings gaan nie net oor die vermindering van risiko nie; dit moet gemeenskappe help om maniere te vind om hulleself te beveilig.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Werk aan die gids is deur die departement van infrastruktuur in samewerking met die Lloyd\u2019s Registerstigting (LRS) in die Verenigde Koninkryk geborg. \u201cBrande in informele nedersettings het verwoestende gevolge, maar dit kan ook voorkom word,\u201d s\u00ea Tim Slingsby, die direkteur van vaardighede en opvoeding by die LRS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTotdat genoeg bekwame ingenieurs informele nedersettings meer brandbestand kan maak en kwesbare gemeenskappe kan beskerm, is hulpbronne soos di\u00e9, wat deur ons vennote by die US en die Wes-Kaapse regering verskaf word, noodsaaklik om plaaslike kapasiteit te help bou en te help om mense veilig te hou.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
