Formation of Community Disaster Response Teams (CDRT) improved the Early Warning mechanism in the
CDRT target areas. CDRT members support the CPP to disseminate early warning during times of cyclones.
Under the leadership of CDMC, members of CDRT worked tirelessly during cyclone ‘Fani’ and cyclone
‘Bulbul’ in coordination with the local government and CPP volunteers.

“Receiving training on Search and Rescue can
support us to work more efficiently for community
people since we are the first responders during

emergency.

“I feel proud of being a volunteer. Opportunity
to work for the community always gave me good

feeling. So that I can go outside even during

disastrous time to support the community
people. My family also acknowledge my
dedication and support me to work intensively”

“During cyclone people try to protect themselves,
most cases elderly people like me are overlooked

but volunteers trained and mobilized by CDRR
program of BDRCS are very much concern about us,
I am feeling privileged now and I can say we are not
helpless anymore”
