Community Disaster Response Teams (CDRT)
Facilitator Training
Hosted on April 15 - 19, 2024
The Community Disaster Response Teams Facilitator Training is a 5-day initiative designed to prepare facilitators to teach community members the basic skills that are important to know in an emergency when responder agencies are delayed in aiding. With training and practice and by working as a team, members of communities will be able to do the greatest good for the greatest number of victims after a disaster, while protecting themselves from becoming a victim.
This training is made possible by the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Capacity Building Initiative Project.

This plan should outline the training's purpose, identify potential communities, specify the training schedule, and allocate a budget that covers necessary materials and additional staff support.
-
Implement Community-Based Disaster Response Team (CDRT) training in a minimum of two communities during the year 2024.
