Backup support for Provincial Disaster Operation Committees (PDOC) and Provincial Disaster Committees (PDCs) has been ongoing from the National Disaster Operations Committee and Sector Committees under our national disaster management arrangements and coordinated by NDMO through the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC).
A statement from the NEOC says support for the PDCs and P-DOCs’ include the operational guidance on sector responses including financial support for coordination and camp management for the quarantine and isolation of COVID-19 suspects and positive cases.
The role of the PDC is to oversee and coordinate all disaster response operations of the PDOC sector committees in the provinces and links up directly to provide advice to Provincial Executives. This is similar to the national arrangement where the NDC links directly and provides advice to Cabinet. An arrangement with over 30 years of experience.
