Disaster Management at Technikon SA - Disaster Management at Technikon SA was established in 1996 through collaboration with the Disaster Management Association of Southern Africa, Cranfield
University and the University of Wisconsin Madison. Since then, they have had numerous students from South and Southern Africa complete their internationally accredited
courses in disaster management. In 1999 the need arose to take disaster management education online and so the DM@TSA was born.
DM@TSA is an interactive website designed for the student and practitioner alike. Within this site, you will not only find links to numerous other disaster related
sites but also links to sites relevant for the disaster management environment. Furthermore, you can interact with other disaster management practitioners through
the use of the disaster discussion forum.
