DesInventar Project is an initiative coordinated by the OSSO Group from Colombia since 1994. It is a conceptualized project that operates under the umbrella of LA RED. The official website has been maintained by the OSSO Corporation since 1996 and is currently in the process of synergy between DesInventar.org and DesInventar.net. Users are periodically updated regarding the progress and any potential inconvenience they may experience until the process is consolidated. The team behind the project anticipates that the efforts will contribute significantly to the institutions involved in various countries as well as the Sendai Framework goals and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The DesInventar Project encompasses a database that can be accessed through the 'Database' option in the main menu or the 'DesInventar online' button on the homepage. The project came into being due to the lack of systematic information about the occurrence of everyday disasters of small and medium impact in Latin America and the Andean subregion up until the mid-1990s. From 1994 onwards, a common conceptual and methodological framework began to be constructed by groups of researchers, academics and institutional actors, gathered in the Network of Social Studies in Disaster Prevention in Latin America (LA RED).

This collective conceived a system for the acquisition, consultation, and display of information about disasters of small, medium, and large impacts. This is based on pre-existing data, hemerographic sources, and institutional reports. Offering such a comprehensive source of data and information, DesInventar continues to fulfill a important role in disaster-related research and policy-making. It stands as a testament to collaborative efforts in the field of disaster management and sustainable development in the Latin American region.
