ORGANIZATION: Disaster Accountability Project

Help ensure Sri Lanka is "donation ready" for the next disaster!

Join DAP’s Smart Response Support Team-Sri Lanka (SRST-Sri Lanka)

WHY: Smart Response makes sure donations reach those most in need the next time disaster strikes Sri Lanka. DAP (an independent watchdog of disaster relief and humanitarian aid) is recruiting a volunteer team to help us identify, engage, and collect data from local [nonprofits/civil society organizations] in Sri Lanka to ensure donations reach the most deserving organizations after the next disaster.

SRST members are asked to assist with the following BEFORE disasters occur:

Data Collection / Engaging Organizations:

  • Identify local CSOs/NGOs involved in disaster relief & human services.

  • Facilitate outreach/training efforts with the identified CSOs and NGOs

Fundraising:

  • Organize one small fundraising/networking event per year to engage others in supporting this effort. (i.e. house party/happy hour/race run)

Stay Connected:

  • Join one short conference call per month. (we’ll plan a few at different times)

SRST members are asked to assist with the following AFTER disasters occur:

Social Media / Outreach:

  • Help spread the word about the data collected by Smart Response after the next disaster hits Sri Lanka

You might be interested in joining a Smart Response Support Team if you are....

  • a returned Peace Corps volunteer

  • former ex-pat living in Sri Lanka

  • a big fan of Sri Lanka


Time Commitment: 5-10 hours per month (estimate)

About Disaster Accountability Project

Location:

4402 Bestor Dr, Rockville, MD 20853, US

Mission Statement

Disaster Accountability Project saves lives and reduces suffering by maximizing the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of disaster preparedness, response, relief, and recovery through oversight, transparency, advocacy, and public education.

Description

DAP is the leading nonprofit organization that provides long-term independent oversight of disaster management systems.

DAP engages a dedicated community to advance policy research and advocacy, promote transparency, and encourage the public to participate in oversight, community-based organizing, and discussions about disaster preparedness and relief.

Dedicated citizen oversight is necessary to ensure resources dedicated to preparedness, relief, and recovery are effectively utilized, communities are sufficiently engaged and more resilient, and best practices and lessons learned are implemented so mistakes are not repeated.

Prior to the creation of the Disaster Accountability Project (DAP), there was no dedicated, independent oversight of the agencies and organizations responsible for these critical life-saving responsibilities.
