IDRN: Starfish Community's Response to Disasters

How does the Starfish Community work together when responding to disasters?

International Disaster Response Network (IDRN)

The IDRN is the official arm of the Starfish Community for responding to disasters around the world. No single organization has the resources to respond to every disaster event, but because of the partnerships within the Starfish Community, members are able to leverage the strength of the entire network to provide meaningful help to those in need.

Every event is different is location, scope and impact. As different Starfish Community members decide whether or not to respond to any single event, those individuals and/or organizations that choose to respond can pull together and collaborate with other Starfish Community members through the International Disaster Response Network which is often referred to as the IDRN.

Because disaster response conversations are so specific and time-sensitive, the IDRN has its own dedicated website for sharing information and managing collaboration. It can be found online at: www.idrn.info.
