Introduction
Regional Disaster Response Teams (RDRT) are one of the well-established disaster response tools of IFRC that are made up of Red Cross Red Crescent staff or volunteers with cross-sectoral expertise, such as health, logistics, water and sanitation, as well as generalist relief workers who can be deployed at a short notice to respond to a disaster. Most are vastly experienced at providing disaster response within their respective National Societies. The aim of RDRT is to actively promote building of regional capacities of disaster management.
