About Us
The Southeast & Caribbean Disaster Resilience Partnership (SCDRP) is a diverse and multi-disciplinary affiliation of public, private, and non-profit organizations that strengthens the ability of the region's coastal communities, economies, and environment to recover from the next coastal storm.
The Partnership connects disaster recovery practitioners from public, private, and non-profit backgrounds and provides a platform for training, resources, and relationships that coastal communities need to bounce back. The SCDRP is led by an Advisory Board and staffed by an Executive Director and a Program Coordinator.
Join Our Monthly Partnership Meetings
Participating in our monthly meetings is free of charge and held virtually. We want to be sure to remain open to everyone who's interested in resilience and climate adaptation. Become a member or email scdrp@secoora.org to receive the Monthly Partnership Meeting virtual link.
Our listserv is now over 400 participants from all resilience sectors and interests. We share information such as:
• webinars and online events;
• important policy or legislation updates;
• regional updates, newsletters, important announcements;
• calls for serving on committees;
• job opportunities in resilience-related fields;
• calls for proposals and funding announcements;
• calls for input on tools and products from members
Build regional capacity for resilience and recovery planning
SCDRP increases coordination and collaboration across sectors and geographies, engaging stakeholders through workshops and information-sharing events.
What We Do
SCDRP assesses the challenges businesses face in recovery planning and provides strategies to improve economic recovery.
Build business resilience and advance collaboration across public and private sectors
Help states, territories, and local organizations advance disaster recovery capacities
SCDRP has invested in state and local projects that advance disaster recovery planning, implementation, learning, and training.
We hold regular calls and use a listserv to share resources. We also get together once a year to discuss critical topics and generate networking opportunities.
