The CITIZENS’ DISASTER RESPONSE CENTER is a non-government organization that pioneered and continues to promote community-based disaster management in the Philippines. CDRC operates nationwide through a network of regional centers affiliated with the Citizens’ Disaster Response Network and through people’s organizations.

Organized in 1984, CDRC focuses its assistance to the most affected, least served and most vulnerable sectors of the population through preparedness and mitigation, emergency relief, and rehabilitation programs.

CDRC responds to minor disasters and major emergencies. Through the years, since 1984, CDRC has touched the lives of over 3 million Filipinos through its programs.

A network of overseas and local supporters enable CDRC to carry out its programs and help communities increase their disaster management capacities.
CDRC is registered as a non-profit, non-stock social development agency and is licensed and accredited to implement relief, rehabilitation, preparedness and mitigation programs.
