Sahana Disaster Management System

There are a number of excellent disaster management tools. A lot of time and money are wisely invested in this arena. For example, the National Incident Management System (NIMS) utilized within the United States is a proven mechanism for multi-agency integration. For more on NIMS and NIMS training, visit

However, some countries and regions of the world do not have a formalized disaster management system. Sahana is an open web-based disaster/crisis/emergency management tool that addresses the common coordination problems from finding missing people, managing aid, volunteers, tracking camps and needs effectively between Government groups, Non-government organizations (NGOs) and victims. A link to Sahana is provided within C4SP's Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief links on the right. A direct link to a free download of Sahana's Disaster Management System is also available below.

C4SP's intention is to provide tools and resources in a completely open environment. We do not make judgements regarding what system or synergistic amalgamation of components will work best for you, your team, organization, or country. Feel free to share your comments and lessons learned from you experiences with us.

Thank you,
