Nature Triggered Emergency Response in Domestic Operations (NERDO) is a program by Canadian Defense and Security Network (CDSN) in partnership with CRRIC. The program aims to strengthen the foundation of Nature Triggered Emergency Response in Domestic Operations through collaboration with academia and other experts for evidenced-based policymaking.

The aggressiveness of Nature can be seen by the past few evens where nature triggered catastrophes breaking the previous records. Preparedness is the key to minimize the impact of these catastrophes. As these events overwhelms the capacity of a certain area for which external resources are required to mobilize.
