Although it may seem hierarchical, the CRD is intended to serve as a supportive team for the administrative needs of NETs rather than a direct authority. In fact, notwithstanding the diagram on this page, the CRD could serve as an organization ''lateral'' to the individual NET teams inside a CRD service area. Its strength lies in empowering any community member interested in emergency preparedness and response, offering them roles and responsibilities. The goal of this model is not to create bureaucracy, but to strengthen community resilience by actively involving more individuals.
