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 the Federal, state, territory, and local governments, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, and business and industry. SCDRP is the only regional collaboration network for professionals in emergency management, climate adaptation, and disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience specifically focused on the U.S. Southeast and Caribbean.The mission of the SCDRP is to serve as the trusted regional network to build professional skills, facilitate knowledge-exchange, advance equitable climate adaptation approaches, promote strategies for accelerating natural disaster recovery, and facilitate strong and diverse partnerships across professional sectors.SCDRP partners recognize that the scale of both episodic and chronic disasters and climate-related forces faced throughout this region requires public and private entities to reach beyond their individual mandates and vested interests to work together to inform, protect, and transform vulnerable communities. The Partnership reflects a deep commitment to collaboration among multiple sectors to share experiences, enhance learning, and foster the use of best practices to strengthen the region’s ability to address common issues resulting from disasters and climate impacts. Each year, SCDRP engages hundreds of professionals in relationship-building to deepen communities’ resilience capacity through knowledge-sharing, interdisciplinary collaboration, and regional convenings.
