About Us

The Disaster Management Initiatives and Convergence Society (DMICS) is a leading civil society organization established in 2005. Originally known as the Disaster Management Infrastructure and Control Society, DMICS has evolved from its early role as a think tank into a dynamic, communitycentric organization focused on inclusive and sustainable disaster risk reduction (DRR).

Registered under the Societies Registration Act of the Government of Andhra Pradesh, DMICS functions as a pivotal platform bringing together decision-makers, practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and subject matter experts to foster dialogue, collaboration, and innovation in the field of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management.

The organization is dedicated to initiating and promoting innovative practices, ideas, and projects aimed at enhancing community resilience. DMICS organizes global events, knowledge exchanges, and conferences on disaster management, with a strong emphasis on sharing best practices, success stories, and indigenous knowledge systems that centre on safeguarding the well-being of communities from both natural and human-induced disasters.

Through advocacy, partnerships, and campaigns, DMICS drives disaster resilience and recovery methodologies, aligning its efforts with global frameworks like the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. The society works relentlessly to empower vulnerable populations, build local capacities, and integrate climate change adaptation with disaster risk governance to create safer, stronger, and more resilient communities.
