Mission

At DMICS, our mission is to inspire, innovate, and implement solutions that reduce disaster risks and build resilient communities. We believe in a world where disaster management is not reactive but proactive — deeply embedded in governance, policy, and everyday community practices. Guided by collaboration, innovation, and people’s participation, DMICS works relentlessly to drive lasting impact.

To achieve this, we aim to:

• Encourage and promote new and organic ideas in the field of disaster management that help reduce vulnerabilities, strengthen institutional frameworks, and influence public policy.
• Create a platform for convergence where government agencies, civil society, academia, and communities collaborate towards effective disaster risk reduction (DRR).
• Integrate disaster management into the broader domain of governance and public policy, ensuring that resilience becomes a core part of sustainable development.
• Foster people’s participation, local leadership, and community-driven solutions, enhancing both national and local capacities through synergy and collective action.
• Organize global events, campaigns, and knowledge exchanges that share best practices, innovations, and indigenous knowledge, strengthening preparedness, response, and recovery mechanisms.
• Pursue disaster management initiatives with steadfast dedication, uniting efforts for a resilient, sustainable, and inclusive world.
