Creating Communities of Practice in Global Crises
Disaster Health - the Convergence of Disaster Medicine and Public Health
About DHI
Our Mission
We advance disaster health through research, policy, and practice to strengthen disaster preparedness and response for all humanity and improve global health outcomes in crises
Our Vision
To lead a transdisciplinary movement integrating civil protection, public health, and medical sectors worldwide—driving collaborative research, uniting organizations, and shaping the next global health framework beyond Sendai to strengthen resilience in the face of 21st-century crises.
Not for Profit
The Disaster Health Institute is a nonprofit organization focused on the public good rather than private interests. In a rapidly evolving risk landscape marked by climate change, pandemics, conflict, and technological disruption, there is an urgent need for a neutral, mission-driven platform that can connect disciplines, institutions, and sectors. DHI independently fosters collaboration—free from political or commercial agendas. This drives impactful research, influences global policy, and supports the development of a new UN-aligned global health framework rooted in equity, evidence, and resilience for all communities.
