Established in 2019 to promote community-centric disaster risk management, Disaster Nomad was built on the belief that every person has the right to a safe, sustainable and resilient future. We specialise in building resilience throughout the disaster continuum, offering proactive solutions that address disaster-causing hazards.
We have successfully worked with communities, international disaster relief non-profits, independent agencies, corporates, and governmental disaster management centres. We strive to support impacted populations by allowing them to take the lead and filling the gaps where needed. We believe that if you listen to those affected, the answers find you.
Our success as a consultancy is rooted in our founder’s years of international deployment experience and our dynamic partnerships.
We understand that every entity is different and that the road to building disaster resilience is not linear; that’s why we work with our clients to create service packages that are tailored to their needs. We have 6 core service offerings that we adapt to meet the needs of our clients. We have also partnered with Baotree to insure that monitoring and evaluation form the foundation for achieving objectives.
Because communities don’t need us to save them.
Because ‘proactive’ always trumps ‘reactive’.
Because the words and tools we use matter.
Because a quick-fix solution is never a solution.
Because collaboration is better than competition.
Because we are never too old or too qualified to stop learning.
Disaster Nomad, led by the insightful Jess van Schalkwyk, plays a crucial role in enhancing our disaster management solutions at Baotree. Jess's deep understanding of the interplay between planning, mitigation, and data collection frameworks enables our customers to implement effective monitoring and reporting strategies. Her expertise in project management, community engagement, and platform integration within Baotree software has been invaluable. Jess’s energetic, approachable, and dedicated approach has not only propelled our collaborative efforts but also deepened the impact of our projects on community resilience. We are proud to partner with Disaster Nomad and are grateful for the exceptional service and commitment Jess brings to every initiative.
