Atma Connect

Strengthening disaster resilience by demonstrating the value of community-based mitigation

Atma Connect, develops technology and movements to build resilience in low-income communities. In this project, Atma will develop a framework to build evidence that quantifies the benefits of community-based disaster mitigation strategies. By generating evidence for the cost-effectiveness of interventions targeted at community members who are “next responders” in disasters, Atma will be able to shift the paradigm to include bottom-up solutions. As an organisation, more evidence will allow Atma to structure strategic partnerships with insurance and health companies and governments that will allow sustaining and expanding work to build resilience in more vulnerable communities globally.
