About us

Focused on enhancing community resilience in the face of natural hazards and disasters, Bala Nikku and his team members from Canada, Nepal and Sri Lanka are creating a much-needed community disaster resilience action toolbox in the form of a website. The site will include guidance and research tools developed by communities themselves and by academic institutions that have worked together to find answers to the questions from community members.

If any community wants to do their own research with disasters, whether with floods or wildfires or poverty, this website will document all these stories.

Our Project

Aimed at finding ways for communities to prepare and respond to natural disasters in a better way, the project integrates field data collection, processing and statistical analysis to formulate better risk management and mitigation strategies for communities.
