This study attempted to explore how nonprofit and government organizations conceptualize disaster response effectiveness using an internet survey. Unfortunately, the data collected through this method was insufficient for meaningful data analysis, and, therefore this study was unable to generate significant findings with respect to its research question. Thus, rather than focusing on a presentation of results from data collection and interpreting the significance of those results, this thesis focuses on justification of the need for research on this topic, review of the literature that suggests it is likely that nonprofits and government perceive disaster response effectiveness differently, recounting of the initial data collection efforts undertaken and the problems encountered, offering of hypotheses for future testing based on analysis of the flawed data, and recommendation of an alternate data collection method that should be used in the future.

Includes abstract. / Includes bibliographical references. / This study seeks to understand changes in rainfall and land-cover in the Kandelaars catchment, which are documented drivers that influence the magnitude, seasonality, and trends in flash-flood occurrence. The study site is situated South-West of the town of Oudtshoorn, which is part of a semi-arid basin, found between the Swartberg, Rooiberg, Outeniqua and Kammanassie mountains. This area is documented for its extensive agricultural activity in the form of ostrich farming, which has been practised there for over a century. In addition, the area is also exposed to seasonally extreme meteorological conditions, most notably in the form of cut-off lows, which have been projected to intensify with the changing climate.
