Background

Since its inception in 2016, the Southeast and Caribbean Disaster Resilience Partnership (SCDRP) has grown into the largest cross-sectoral, multi-disciplinary, regional network for resilience professionals from Federal, state, territory, and local government, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, business, and industry. SCDRP is the only regional collaboration network for professionals in emergency management, resilience, and disaster preparedness, response, and recovery specifically focused on the U.S. Southeast and Caribbean region, consisting of the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida and the U.S. Caribbean territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Extreme Storm

SCDRP envisions a future in which communities across the U.S. Southeast and Caribbean are significantly more resilient to episodic and chronic impacts from natural hazards, extreme weather, and disasters.

Stronger Together: Partnerships, Capacity & Collective Action

SCDRP Report

This report is a culmination of the discussions and ideas shared at the SCDRP Emergency Management Roundtable held on March 6, 2026, in Charleston, South Carolina. 

 

This report is intended as a resource for the Southeast and Caribbean region and beyond, illustrating how to strengthen local emergency management capacity, particularly in under-resourced jurisdictions, by leveraging collaborative partnerships, creative funding strategies, and collective mobilization. 

While emergency managers are the primary audience, this report is also relevant to organizations working alongside them in disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation; funding organizations; multi-sector practitioners and researchers in the resilience field; and non-traditional partners such as faith-based organizations, academic institutions, retail partners, credit unions, and others.
