The CCR network supports greater crisis prevention, preparedness, response and recovery at the community level. It does so by setting up a network of volunteer CCRs, who form a trained and connected network of leaders dedicated to community cohesion and resilience.
CCRs receive 5 days of free training, which include self-care, disaster resilience, community building, emergency communications as well as food, water, and energy security, but also complete a day of first aid and a day of psychological first aid. Upon graduation, participants receive a CCR cap, t-shirt and solid first-aid kit, and are then mentored to lead a project that builds the resilience of their own community. Finally, they are regularly invited to additional workshops, community events, and field visits to deepen their knowledge but also connections with each other.
