Staff members of the University of Johannesburg’s (UJ) newly launched Rescue Simulation Centre have been deployed to Mozambique as part of a critical humanitarian mission.
The team is responding to the ongoing flooding emergency following a formal request for assistance from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
The mission is being conducted under the South African flag, coordinated by Rescue South Africa in alignment with international humanitarian protocols and South Africa’s National Disaster Management Centre (NDMC).
The team, a multidisciplinary group of specialists, is led by UJ Rescue Simulation Centre acting manager Connor Hartnady, alongside Travis Trower, Dr Dagmar Muhlbauer Roets, Bradley Hatfield, Francois Pretorius and Xavier Millar.
The deployment includes specialist swift water and aviation rescue teams designed to navigate the high-risk conditions currently affecting the region.
Following confirmation from the NDMC that no additional domestic emergency support is required within South Africa at this time, resources have been pivoted to support the country’s neighbouring State.
