Disaster Resilient & Research Foundation (DRRF) offers to be a one-stop knowledge and information resource platform pertaining to Disaster Management and Geospatial technology. Understanding natural and manmade disasters is one of the key ingredients contributing towards pre and post disaster scenarios including geospatial. DRRF offers specialised consultancy in Disaster Risk Management & Mitigation. We also provide guidance in Disaster Management project and preparation of Disaster Management Plan
Disaster management plans are all about planning ahead. You have to think about what could go wrong in a disaster and develop protocols to address those issues. A disaster is a catastrophic situation in which suddenly, people are plunged into helplessness and suffering and, as a result, need protection, clothing, shelter, medical and social care and other necessities of life.

Disaster Resilient & Research Foundation (DRRF) is a non-governmental organization created with a specific focus on building and strengthening disaster-related user organizations and individuals toward adoption and assimilation of geospatial technologies, as well as proposing to partner with domain-specific capacity development institutions for training in emerging tools and techniques in geospatial information with a specific focus on development programs and initiatives.
