Mission

DMS Foundation’s mission is to reduce the human, social, economic, cultural and environmental losses from natural and other disasters that occur repetitively in communities world-wide and who lack the means to develop preventive programs on their own. 

Goals and Objectives

1. Promote planning and prevention efforts to reduce the human, economic and environmental costs of natural and other disasters.
2. Provide local communities prone to disaster with the means to help them through community capacity building and empowerment.
3. To integrate technologies, systems and equipment from world-wide markets that provides superior disaster mitigation solutions, monitoring and predictability tools to anticipate disasters before they occur.
4. To provide local community-based programs to combat the spread of HIV, malaria and other       communicable diseases and the propagation of breeding grounds for the spread of pandemics in at-risk communities everywhere.
5. Provide humanitarian funds to disaster-prone communities with a means to insure their financial assistanceis directed into effective disaster mitigation programs without dilution into other local programs.

DMS “Partnerships for Success” emphasizes planning, prevention and proactive measures. The communities are supported with the provision of training and education, technology, equipment and know-how. DMS seeks to train and equip these communities to protect themselves from natural and other disasters.

DMS underwrites the capital and operating costs of these DMS Centres, rather than providing financial aid directly to communities to spend as they see fit. In this way DMS insures that its objectives, and therefore, the donors who support DMS, are met.

DMS Foundation’s mission emphasizes prevention and education, but will also provide emergency relief, rescue and recovery services 24/7/365 anywhere in the world. The problem with natural and other disasters is never if it will happen, but rather when. Predicting these or at least being prepared for them is fundamental to DMS Foundation’s mission, goals and objectives.
