DMI India is a community-based action research, action planning and action advocacy non-governmental organization. It works towards bridging the gap between policy, practice, and research related to disaster mitigation in an effort to link the community to the international humanitarian scenario. UUSC tsunami relief funds will help DMI provide relief and rehabilitation to reestablish the livelihoods of survivors of the disaster. Visit DMI's website at http://www.southasiadisasters.net.
