Mission
The Center for Disaster Preparedness Foundation works with communities across the Philippines to strengthen their ability to prepare for disasters, respond effectively, recover with dignity, and adapt to climate risks. Since 1999, CDP has supported communities, local governments, and civil society organizations through training, research, advocacy, and humanitarian action. Its work recognizes that people closest to risk carry valuable knowledge and should have a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect their lives. Rather than treating communities simply as recipients of aid, CDP creates space for them to lead, organize, and shape solutions rooted in their own realities. The result is resilience that grows from within and continues long after a project ends. At its heart, CDP believes that safer communities are built when people are informed, included, and trusted to lead.
