Read through the case study material for the Lillian Ngoyi Street (Bre Street) Explosion. You are welcome to consult additional sources on the event. Based on the information, develop an appropriate ICS structure for the event. Decide which positions in the Command Staff and General Staff structures should be activated and discuss each position and what their main function in the event would be. In your discussion also indicate who should be the Incident Commander and decide if you will activate a Unified Command Structure and motivate your decision. Also choose one of the four main areas of activity (mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery) in Disaster Risk Management and explain shortly how disaster risk in similar circumstances can be reduced by improving the specific area of activity you have chosen.

Important notes: Your discussion should integrate all relevant definitions of terminology. You should consider carefully the ICS structure and which positions/functions should be activated. You receive marks for the structure and the motivation of why you have chosen the specific structure. You can only choose one area of activity to discuss - you will be penalised for discussing all four. Your document should consist of a sufficient introduction, body with sub-headings and end with a sufficient conclusion to the entire document. You are expected to reference in text and compile a bibliography according to the Harvard style -
