Mission
To lead the Collier County community in preparation for, response to and recovery from disasters.
Mission Areas: (Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, Response, Recovery)
Vision
We strive to build a disaster resilient community that collectively works to overcome disasters and emerge stronger.
Approach
DRCC strengthens local disaster response by increasing the collective capacity of
community private-public partners through building collaborative, informative and
accessible resources and relationships.
Purpose
1. Cooperation: Create a climate of cooperation, promote information sharing, and
convene meetings to facilitate effective service delivery throughout the disaster cycle.
2. Coordination: Enhance local capabilities through training, resource sharing, and mutual aid agreements to ensure a robust and coordinated response to disasters.
3. Collaboration: Work together as equal participants on shared goals and effectively use non-duplicated resources to help communities prepare for and recover from disasters.
4. Communication: Develop and maintain effective channels for sharing and disseminating information among DRCC-COAD member organizations, the public, and local, state, and federal agencies.
5. Preparedness: Work to increase internal organization readiness within member organizations, DRCC-COAD, and the community. Encourage effective disaster-
related training, policies, and procedures. Ensure community members have access and ability to receive educational and/or to participate in crisis/disaster preparedness related activities.
