Project Detail

The project focuses on scaling and enhancing the DASTAA platform to support multi-hazard anticipatory action and sector-specific disaster preparedness planning in Nepal and Malawi. The project involves completion and coordination of data collection, customization of the DASTAA platform, and integration of sector-specific dashboards, risk assessment modules, localized hazard models, and risk matrix computation. The enhanced system is designed to support early warning and early action interventions while strengthening multichannel risk communication. The project also includes capacity-building activities, documentation of lessons learned, final reporting, wrap-up trainings and workshops, and project closure.
