Philosophy 

SCDRP partners recognize that the scale of both episodic and chronic disasters and climate-related stressors 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.
