       Disaster Management Information System is
      replete with disaster-related information. DMIS is organized and created
      by the India Society for Research and Initiatives for Sustainable
      Technologies and Institutions (SRISTI). It is a non-governmental
      organization set up to strengthen the creativity of grassroots inventors,
      innovators and ecopreneurs engaged in conserving biodiversity and

       The Gender and Disaster Network is an
      educational project initiated by researchers and scholars interested in
      gender relations in disaster contexts. The network experts use the
      internet to share and communicate their work to a larger audience. On the
      site are useful documents and analysis on gender and disaster studies. The
      network is open to all interested in contributing to and sharing its
      goals. http://www.crowdingtherim.org/docs/ctr/products.html
            
       Crowding the Rim (CTR) is a public-private
      initiative that addresses the growing consequences of natural hazards in
      an increasingly interdependent Pacific Rim community. It has developed
      several tools to illustrate natural hazard risk to increasingly populous
      and interconnected Pacific Rim countries. These are RimSim, a conflict
      negotiation simulation package, HazPac, an interactive GIS map about
      natural hazards in the Pacific Rim region, and Education Module, a tool on
      natural hazard risk for high school students and adult learners. http://www.lavochka.com/relief/kna.html
            
       Kutch Navnirman Abhiyan is a network of 14
      grassroots NGOs founded to respond to the devastating 1998 cyclone. It has
      emerged as a network of voluntary organizations in Kutch, India,
      undertaking planning, lobbying and training activities to strengthen the
      voluntary movement in the district. It worked extensively in relief
      operations immediately after the 2001 Gujarat earthquake.
