Disaster Accountability Project (DAP) is a nonprofit that saves lives and reduces suffering after disasters by maximizing the impact of preparedness, response and relief through citizen oversight and engagement, policy research and advocacy, and public education. An independent watchdog for disaster relief and humanitarian aid, we believe that transparency, accountability, effective working systems, and public participation are necessary for effective disaster relief preparedness, response, and recovery. Dedicated to public participation and long-term oversight, we welcome volunteers, interns, supporters, and donations. Our focus areas are: 1) SmartResponse data collection, assessments, monitoring and evaluations 2) Investigative reporting 3) Advocacy and citizen engagement
