Foundation for Disaster Forum (popularly known as Disaster Forum) is a Dhaka based National Disaster Preparedness Network of seventy humanitarian and development agencies, research institutions, government departments and independent activists who are working on various disaster and environmental issues with special focus on preparedness and community based Disaster Risk Reduction. Since 1994, Disaster Forum is working for ensuring the accountability of the humanitarian and development agencies and to promote the rights of all vulnerable groups. Promoting alternative perspectives on Disaster Mitigation against the prevalent dominant perspective is the prime objective of Disaster Forum.
