Comprehensive Disaster Respnses Services
Comprehensive Disaster Response Services (CDRS) is registered since 2006 as a non-profit society for disaster relief and social welfare work in AJK and Pakistan under The Pakistan Societies Registration Act, 1860. The organization was created by Todd Shea after his deployment to Pakistan in October 2005 to assist with the earthquake relief efforts. Seeing great need would exist long after the emergency was over, Todd decided to stay in Pakistan. Todd and CDRS were awarded the Tamgha-i-Eisaar medal from Pakistan and the organization now has over 100 employees and has deployed hundreds of volunteers to serve some of the most deserving communities in Pakistan.
Disaster Response Expertise (Emergencies and Long Term): CDRS has responded to multiple disasters in Pakistan, providing much needed logistics and medical support services to communities in need. We have a well-experienced team of logisticians, medical personnel and volunteers who have extensive experience, and an in-depth understanding of local conditions, geography and culture.
