About Us

GeoHazards Society (GHS) is a Delhi-based non-profit organization dedicated to advancing disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) efforts in India and neighboring regions. With a focus on enhancing the safety and resilience of vulnerable communities, GHS employs proactive strategies and collaborative initiatives to mitigate the impacts of geological, climate-related, and secondary hazards, ensuring that no community is left behind (Darpan ID: DL/2017/0165608).

A safer, climate- and disaster-resilient India with self-reliant, prepared communities whose development is not hindered by disasters, and where inclusion, accessibility, and mental well-being are at the core of resilience-building efforts.

Our mission is to empower vulnerable communities and reduce suffering, particularly among children, women, older adults, and persons with disabilities, by fostering preparedness and mitigation strategies against various hazards, including climate-induced and cascading hazards. Through proactive engagement, inclusive policies, and collaborative efforts, we aim to minimize disaster impact, strengthen mental health preparedness, and ensure that resilience-building measures are accessible to all, especially those at the margins of society.

With 18 years of experience working alongside national and state governments, as well as international agencies such as UNDP, the World Bank, and WHO, GHS has established itself as a trusted ally in disaster and climate resilience. Our collaboration with GeoHazards International (GHI) has enabled us to conduct impactful projects and capacity-building programs across South and Southeast Asia. Recognizing the disproportionate impact of disasters on persons with disabilities, we actively integrate Disability-Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (DiDRR) into our projects, ensuring accessible early warning systems, inclusive response plans, and tailored risk education.

At the heart of GHS's work is a commitment to equity, accessibility, and community-led resilience. Our partnerships with government departments, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, corporate sectors, and grassroots organizations enable us to foster disaster and climate safety at all levels of society. We believe in inclusive preparedness, where the voices and needs of persons with disabilities and individuals with mental health conditions are prioritized in DRR and emergency response planning.

1. Empower vulnerable communities to recognize and manage their risks, reducing disaster losses and increasing resilience through tailored programs, including child-centered resilience, disability inclusion, and mental health preparedness initiatives.
2. Promote comprehensive safety strategies in schools, hospitals, and other institutions, incorporating Disability-Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction (DiDRR). 
3. Strengthen climate and disaster safety at the family and community level, integrating accessible early warning systems, inclusive emergency response planning, and psychosocial support mechanisms.
4. Collaborate with government agencies, NGOs, and international agencies to develop holistic climate and disaster risk reduction strategies, ensuring that disability inclusion and mental health preparedness are embedded in all resilience-building efforts.
