The tool was first introduced to the City of Los Angeles to improve the resilience of their communities. The project is sponsored by Los Angeles County Public Health. [http://test.lacrmt.sahanafoundation.org/ DEMO] 2) '''News feeds to improve decision making''' is a site for the national Disaster Management Department of Timor-Leste to facilitate information sharing between different stakeholders ([http://drm.tl/eden/static/themes/DRMP/DRMIS%20User%20Manual%20-%20English.pdf see user manual]). It provides a simplified interface to be easy to use. [http://test.drm.tl DEMO] 3) '''Vulnerability assessments is an activity''' is a system for Red Cross National Societies. This new Vulnerability Mapping module which is under development will allow collection & displaying of data on the resilience of communities. It aggregates different indicators together to provide an overall rating to hopefully make it easier to use. [http://rmsdev.aidiq.com DEMO] 4) '''Alerting and Messaging with CAP''' is done with the Sahana Common Alerting Protocol-enabled Messaging Broker (SAMBRO). It is designed to manage the publishing and subscribing of situation-awareness and alert messages. The single entry of standardized message can be delivered through various technologies such as SMS, Email, RSS, HTML, Twitter, Interactive Voice, Satellite broadcast so on and so forth [http://www.samanathetha.lk/sahana-demo/ DEMO] 5) '''Situational-Reporting''' allows a quick overview of where there are issues. Reports can come in just from trained staff or else from the wider public ('Crowd Sourcing'). These can be entered via the Web or come in via SMS or Email.

The Institute has responded rapidly to the new challenges the region faces. Disaster Risk Management is one of SDCC thematic area, lead by Dr. Manzul Azharika. This thematic area emphasises that effective disaster management hinges on reducing the vulnerability. Moreover, reducing disaster risk is also vital to climate change adaptation. The process of managing disaster risks entails understanding and identifying the risk factors and simplifying the complexities of disaster risk assessments.
