Disasters are often unpredictable and uncertain, most governments struggle to assist victims of disaster mainly due lack of capital and sponsors. Although one cannot be really certain, natural disasters like floods and hurricanes are unpredictable but can be prepared for. This is crucial for efficient response. Which generally means emergency planning is never enough, therefore South Africa needs a framework detailing how the humanitarian logistics will be used to prepare and prevent natural disasters like floods. Relief agencies have to put their focus on the models developed for immediate response, which involves items like medication and capacities (rescue teams and rescue equipment).
