Expansive Property Restoration Network in the United States
The Coalition for Disaster Response is a nationwide organization of restoration experts and disaster recovery experts who have come together to support property owners and communities affected by natural disasters.
CDR was formed to organize an integrated group of the best restoration experts across the country with the capability of handling large-scale property losses and recovery efforts.
More than 50 independent companies participate in the Coalition, combining resources and efforts to provide a concertrated response effort.

Our Commitment to Competition
The Coalition of Disaster Responders is an association of independent restoration companies. Members are separate businesses that compete with one another for work, and CDR is organized so they can continue to do so.
CDR does not set, recommend, publish, or coordinate member pricing, rates, bids, wages, hiring practices, sales territories, or customer assignments and members do not discuss these subjects with one another through CDR. Each member independently determines its own prices, contract terms, employment practices, markets and customers it pursues.
What CDR does provide is shared technical and safety standards, training, common documentation and project control processes, and a way for members to request mutual aid when a loss exceeds one company’s capacity.
Membership is open to any qualified restorer that meets our criteria. CDR maintains a written antitrust compliance policy that applies to all members, all meetings, and all committee activity.
Discover The Power of Our Restoration Network
“Undoubtedly, Atlas has benefited from our relationship with CDR in our role of associate member / provider of environmental consulting services. Each year our role seems to expand with Atlas having involvement in a few significant projects that occur outside of the hurricane season. Looking back in time to the point when I received general information about the CDR organization, I had my reservations about becoming fully committed to an organization that was primarily represented by major contractors in the restoration industry. However, being allowed to attend the annual conference in Panama City a few times, witness firsthand the networking, technical presentations, and other opportunities to grow professionally, has eliminated any apprehensions that I initially had about the organization. Most importantly, I have personally benefited from my direct involvement with CDR members. The camaraderie, networking, and professional atmosphere maintained during meetings, is notable. Thank you Jason and Nathan for making me feel comfortable in the presence of industry leaders from the restoration industry. Atlas will always value being an associate member of your organization.”
“The key to my company’s success was getting fully involved with CDR; being a part of its growth, health, and wealth; and not just attending a meeting once a year and hoping for hand-outs. I volunteered to help at all functions; join open committees; just generally be there for my member partners. Now, ESNJ has become one of the Key Members of the Coalition of Disaster Responders (CDR).
I personally sit on the CDR Board/ Ethics Committee and consistently try to be a part of CDR’s integrity and prosperity. Bottom line is that my efforts in CDR have been paid back sevenfold.
Beyond the growth , I have also been blessed with developing some of my closest, deepest and life-changing friendships with my fellow CDR members. Many of the people that you will meet within CDR are rare individuals with integrity, compassion and morality; who truly want to see others succeed in all areas of life. Joining CDR as well as embracing all that it stands for has been the most life-altering business decision that I have ever made.”
“Being a part of the CDR has been life-changing. It allows for scalability to any size job without sacrificing our high standards of integrity and quality of work. The training and leadership provided by the Coalition of Disaster Responders have raised the bar for everyone in the industry. We trust coalition members with our reputation and work diligently to uphold the reputations of the great companies under the CDR banner. The CDR is like family and we are truly honored to be a part of it.”
