DISASTER RESILIENCE 

BUILT FOR THE REAL WORLD

Comprehensive disaster management, risk,

WHO WE ARE

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, helping organisations and communities to prepare for disruption, build practical systems that address disaster-causing hazards, and strengthen disaster operations.

WHERE WE WORK

Based in South Africa, but operational internationally, we have successfully worked with communities, disaster relief non-profits, independent agencies, corporates, and governmental agencies. 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.
