D-TECH AWARDS
The
SAFE STEPS D-Tech (Disaster Tech) Awards
- created by Prudence Foundation and supported by Humanitarian Partner the IFRC and Technology Partner AWS – finds, funds and supports innovative technology solutions which save lives before, during and after natural disaster events.
The SAFE STEPS D-Tech Awards was created out of the belief that technological innovation has a significant role to play in improving disaster preparedness, recovery and resilience. This need is especially magnified in Asia-Pacific where half of the world’s natural disaster events occur.
SAFE STEPS was established to build more resilient communities. The
SAFE STEPS D-Tech Awards aims to harness the power of technology to help realise this aim. Together with our partners, we aim to provide a fertile platform to help technology solutions realise their potential in reducing the unnecessary loss of human life and the social and economic impacts of disasters and aid recovery.
Our goals are aligned with the following UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Support the SAFE STEPS D-Tech Awards and together, we can be lifesavers.
