Overview

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 helps ensure resources for preparedness, relief, and recovery are effectively utilized, communities are engaged, and best practices are implemented to reduce repeated mistakes. 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 assistance with media communications/press relations/op-ed writing. The role involves contributing to messaging, writing weekly (or more frequent) op-eds, and assisting with writing, placement, and other media engagement. We also have SmartResponse.org, which collects information on how local organizations are responding around the world; we need help with outreach so donors can more easily find these organizations and support them directly. We are looking for volunteers with existing communications/PR/related writing experience. Responsibilities
