Sahana Software Foundation

This particular Eden page is a guide on how to create a project on the Sahana Software Foundation.

Why should I add a project?

Adding a project on the Sahana Software will give you a chance of responding effectively to disasters in your community, and probably to the neighbouring communities as well. This software has been used, for example to enable effective disaster response during the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Simply following the instructions below can help you, as an interested user, to create your own project on the Sahana Software Foundation. Further Details…
