Centre for Disaster Management Studies (CDMS) Nepal

Centre for Disaster Management Studies (CDMS) was established in 2007 by a group of professional women dedicated towards creating disaster resilient communities in Nepal and the South Asia Region through capacity building and public awareness. CDMS covers a wide range of programs and activities that address all types of hazards, and all aspects of the disaster management spectrum- from prevention and mitigation, through preparedness and response, to reconstruction and rehabilitation, including climate change adaptation (CCA), natural resource management and contemporary socio-economic issues. CDMS encompasses research, technology dissemination, public awareness, disaster information management, networking and capacity building of individuals, communities, and governments at local level.
