The info-NDRSC Disaster Related Data System, a digital platform for collecting and distributing statistical data on families affected by natural disasters, was officially launched yesterday (24) at the Colombo Disaster Management Center.
The event took place under the patronage of Deputy Minister of Defence, Major General Aruna Jayasekara (Retd).
Developed as part of the National Statistics Development Program, the system allows data entry at the Grama Niladhari Division level, ensuring standardized verification procedures for accuracy and efficiency.
In addition to the database, a quarterly newsletter, info-NDRSC, was introduced to enhance awareness of disaster response and relief services.
The project was funded by Save the Children and received technical support from GIS Solutions (Pvt) Ltd.
As part of the Clean Sri Lanka national program and the government’s broader digitalization efforts, the event saw participation from senior officials of the Disaster Management Division, Department of Census and Statistics, National Building Research Institute, and Department of Meteorology, along with 485 disaster relief officers from across the country.
