Our Organization

The Center for Disaster Preparedness (CDP) Foundation is known in the Philippines and the Asia-Pacific Region as one of the pioneers in the field of community-based disaster risk reduction and management (CBDRRM) and climate change adaptation (CCA).

For more than 25 years, CDP Foundation has remained at the forefront as a resource center in community-based climate and disaster risk reduction and management (CB CDRRM). From its early beginnings in 1997 as the Disaster Resource Training Center carved out of the Training and Education Desk of the Citizens’ Disaster Response Center, CDP Foundation was registered as an independent institution with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission on the 4th of January 1999.

​

We work with non-government organizations, people’s organizations, communities, and government agencies at all levels to enhance their capacities in disaster prevention and mitigation, preparedness, emergency response, and rehabilitation and recovery.

​

We at the Center for Disaster Preparedness want to reach out to more communities and spread the message of resilience through capacity-development programs and projects in community-based climate and disaster risk reduction and management. We are raising funds and promoting awareness to instill a culture of safety and disaster preparedness.

 

Through advocacy in DRR policies, research, and implementation of activities in DRR, our team works tirelessly each day with the same goals in mind: to help build safe, resilient, and developed communities in the Philippines one barangay at a time.

CDP Teams

In response to the changing landscape of disaster risk reduction, we’re restructuring to better serve communities. Our previous structure, while effective, often kept our teams working in silos. To overcome this, we’ve created specialized teams that will enhance coordination and make sure resources are used where they’re needed most.
