Disaster Mitigation

Disaster Mitigation can be defined as sustained actions to reduce or eliminate the long-term impacts and risks associated with natural and human induced disasters.

Mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life & property by lessening the impact of Disasters.

This is achieved through risk analysis, which results in information that provides a foundation for mitigation activities that reduce risk.

All India Disaster Mitigation Institute (AIDMI) is a non-governmental organisation based in Gujarat, India. It is a community-based action research, action planning and action advocacy organisation. It works towards bridging the gap between policy, practice and research related to disaster risk mitigation and reduction. As an operational as well as learning organisation it is able to link local communities with national and international policies of relief and long-term recovery.

Established after the 1987-89 Gujarat droughts, AIDMI has evolved from a project in 1989 to an autonomous organisation in 1995. It has expanded work over the years to now cover 11 types of disasters in six areas of India and in seven countries in Asia.

AIDMI has been among the pioneers in the area of disaster risk mitigation.
