DAP is the leading nonprofit organization that provides long-term independent oversight of disaster management systems. 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.

We are seeking a senior‑level UI/UX Design volunteer with access to and experience using FIGMA.

• We have a growing Design Library in FIGMA.
• We have an active UI/UX Design Team and we're looking to add one or two designers.
• We have Front‑End and Back‑End Dev teams to implement the designs.

Natural and humanitarian disasters are increasingly prevalent. Donations are delayed, diverted, and do not reach intended beneficiaries. Despite overwhelming response from donors worldwide, billions of dollars do not reach disaster survivors because the international community lacks a way to quickly identify and support locally operating, high‑impact organizations in real time during a crisis. Local organizations on the front‑line of disasters typically receive as little as 3% of donations made after disasters.

In contrast, 97% of every donation using Smart Response can reach local efforts. Smart Response.org incentivizes transparency, as organizations must share information to get listed.

Smart Response serves as a global resource for donors, allowing donations to be made directly to local, on‑the‑ground organizations. We don't take a percentage or cut. We are helping to remove intermediaries that delay and divert funds from the donation process.

Our team uses Figma. Volunteers must have access to Figma. Additionally, we use Git Hub, Google Docs and Slack for collaboration.
