Trusted starting point
You may know a lot, but you do not know everything or everyone.
IDRN exists to help people of good will find one another, exchange practical wisdom, and form local relationships that matter all the more when crisis arrives.
Foster local impact
Relationships matter most when seeking the real solutions that are almost always local.
Welcoming to all
Always encouraging new connections, this network meets you where you are.
Trusted starting point
IDRN is not the solution. It seeks to help you find the solution.
IDRN is a global relational network. An existing member must personally invite you to join. If you do not currently know anyone who can invite you in, then reach out and we'll see where things go. If you do know an IDRN member, get them to send you an invite through the IDRN Global Village.
How it starts
Organizations are great, but we prioritize individuals. We want YOU!
IDRN is relationship-driven. No cold calls. No generic lists. If you want to meet someone, let us know where your work, geography, and trust already overlap.
Just a slice of IDRN
Prepared relationships
Built for the moment before the moment.
Crisis demands working with people you met just 5 minutes ago. We prefer working with long-time trusted friends who share IDRN values.

A pledge to the principles... not to a group
Make the pledge.
“I pledge to illuminate unseen resources, champion best practices, and foster relationships that empower local preparedness and response within our global family.”I want to make the pledge
Most people aren't ready for local disasters.
IDRN encourages you to prepare by connecting you with the new people, tools, and resources you didn't know you needed.

Background
The International Disaster Response Network is a global relational network that was established in 2007. IDRN Global, is a nonprofit 501c3 organization based in the United States of America that was established in Texas in the fall of 2024 specifically focused on facilitating the growth of the existing relational network.
IDRN Global is not the entire network. It is a dedicated organization focused on facilitating and supporting the entire network by encouraging awareness, highlighting best practices, and promoting new and better levels of collaboration among response groups and networks around the world.
IDRN Global is not intended to be the same as IDRN USA or IDRN United States. IDRN Global operates as a peer to the historical functional IDRN groups that have persisted in Southeast Asia and East Asia through the years.
