Description:
Sahana is a Free and Open Source Disaster Management system. It is a web based
collaboration tool that addresses the common coordination problems during a
disaster from finding missing people, managing aid, managing volunteers,
tracking camps effectively between Government groups, the civil society (NGOs)
and the victims themselves.
Sahana is an integrated set of pluggable, web based disaster management
applications that provide solutions to large-scale humanitarian problems
in the aftermath of a disaster. Our aspirations are as follows:
1. Primary: Help alleviate human suffering and help save lives through the
efficient use of IT during a disaster
2. Bring together a diverse set of actors from Government, Emergency
Management, NGOs, INGOs, spontaneous volunteers and victims themselves in
responding effectively to a disaster
3. Empower the victims, responders, volunteer to better enable them to help
themselves and others
4. Protect victim data and reduce the opportunity for data abuse
5. Provide a Free and Open Source solution end-to-end available to everyone
With the above aspirations, the main applications built into Sahana and
problems they address so far are as follows:
1. Missing Person Registry - Helping to reduce trauma by effectively finding
missing persons
2. Organization Registry - Coordinating and balancing the distribution of
relief organizations in the affected areas and connecting relief groups
allowing them to operate as one
3. Request Management System - Registering and Tracking all incoming
requests for support and relief upto fulfillment and helping donors connect to
relief requirements
4. Camp Registry - Tracking the location and numbers of victims in the
various camps and temporary shelters setup all around the affected area
5. Volunteer Management - Coordinate the contact info, skills, assignments
and availability of volunteers and responders
6. Inventory Management - Tracking the location, quantities, expiry of
supplies stored for utilization in a disaster
7. Situation Awareness - Providing a GIS overview of the situation at hand
for the benefit of the decision makers

Sahana has currently been deployed successfully in the following places:
1. Tsunami - Sri Lanka 2005 - Officially deployed in the CNO for the
