1: Citizen Oversight
Engage citizens in providing oversight of the agencies and organizations responsible for disaster preparedness and relief. Other Information:
DAP engages a dedicated community to advance policy research and advocacy, promote transparency, and encourage the public
to participate in oversight, community-based organizing, and discussions about disaster preparedness and relief. Dedicated
citizen oversight is necessary to ensure resources dedicated to preparedness, relief, and recovery are effectively utilized,
communities are sufficiently engaged and more resilient, and best practices and lessons learned are implemented so mistakes
are not repeated. Prior to the creation of the Disaster Accountability Project (DAP), there was no dedicated, independent
oversight of the agencies and organizations responsible for these critical life-saving responsibilities.
