Our Organization

CDP Foundation builds the capacity of communities, local governments, civil society organizations, and development practitioners to lead disaster risk reduction and management — before, during, and after disasters. We believe that communities closest to risk are most capable of leading their own resilience."

Founded in 1999 as a spinoff of the Citizens' Disaster Response Center, the Center for Disaster Preparedness Foundation has spent 27 years proving that community power is the most durable form of disaster resilience. We were born from the conviction that communities — not governments, not international agencies — are the first and most important responders when disaster strikes.

In that time, we helped shape the policy landscape of disaster risk reduction in the Philippines. CDP contributed to the drafting and passage of RA 10121 — the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 — and represented Filipino communities' voices at the UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Kobe (2005) and Sendai (2015). We built national training standards (CBDRRM BIG), pioneered disability-inclusive DRRM (DiDRRM), launched the Pinnovation Academy for community innovation, and trained the DRREAM BIG generation of youth leaders.

​

​Today, CDP's network spans 33 provinces and 2.96 million beneficiaries. We are a training center, a research partner, a grantmaker, a humanitarian responder, and a convener. We are also a community — of staff, alumni, partners, and communities who believe that the safest Philippines is one where every barangay knows what to do.

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.
