WHO WE ARE

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 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.

Our list-serve 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

WHAT WE DO

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.

BUILD BUSINESS RESILIENCE AND ADVANCE COLLABORATION ACROSS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS

SCDRP assesses the challenges businesses face in recovery planning and provides strategies to improve economic recovery.

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.

MAINTAIN RELATIONSHIPS & SHARE RESOURCES

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.
