Our Mission

The International Center for Disaster Resilience©creates continuous exceptional preparedness by advancing the fusion of disaster medicine and psychosocial resiliency to relieve human suffering worldwide in war and disasters.

Pioneering Initiatives

Disaster is ubiquitous, striking all manner of people and communities. Too often the preparedness and response to disaster does not take into account the unique approach needed to care for the person and for their community as a whole, addressing both their physical and mental well-being.

An individual’s needs change as the phase of disaster changes. Indeed, it is common for victims of and responders to disaster to carry physical and emotional injuries with them long after the disaster has occurred. It is the goal of the International Center for Disaster Resilience to fuse the sciences of disaster medicine and psychosocial resiliency bringing together international experts to achieve the care of the whole individual exposed to disaster, before, during and after the disaster, implementing exceptional preparedness worldwide.

ICDR addresses both medical and psychosocial needs and treats the whole person, who has been a victim of or responded to Disaster. We provide resiliency-validated, evidence-based training and consultation, medical and psychosocial interventions, and masters level degrees to clients worldwide in a way that validates their work, their life experience and their social connections and inspires them to engage in healthy and resilient adaptations to exposures of war, terrorism and disasters so that all involved recognize and engage in their sources of resiliency and reach and maintain normal functioning and healthy recovery.

ICDR works in all areas of the Disaster Cycle: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery, in order to be the definitive resource for individual people, agencies, and communities as they strive to prepare for or respond/recover from a disaster.
