Avoidable Deaths Network
The Avoidable Deaths Network (ADN) is a global network working towards avoiding human deaths from natural hazards, naturally triggered technological hazards and human-made disasters in low- and middle-income countries.[1][2]
The network's founders and leaders are Professor Nibedita Ray-Bennett and Professor Hideyuki Shiroshita. Professor Ray-Bennett is an academic at the University of Leicester and an associate professor in risk management.[3] Professor Shiroshita is an academic at Kansai University, whose field is disaster mitigation and safety education.[4]
The Avoidable Deaths Network's aim is to reduce avoidable disaster deaths. The network comprises more than 900 members, who are a mixture of experts, practitioners and researchers. ADN achieves its goal through research, improving policymaking, developing networking and assisting in knowledge exchange.[5][2]
The Avoidable Deaths Network is a member of the Santiago Network[5] and its work aligns with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction Priority 1 'Understanding Disaster Risk'.[2]
