We are dedicated to empowering communities with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to mitigate risks and enhance their readiness. Through our education programs, workshops, and partnerships with local organizations, CDRO strives to promote a culture of preparedness and resilience at the grassroots level. By working together with community leaders and stakeholders, including Indigenous and other under-represented groups, we aim to ensure that every Canadian has access to the tools and information necessary to protect themselves and their loved ones during times of crisis.
