Have a variety of geographic areas of responsibility – it may cover only a small footprint such as one facility/city or be as large as the worldwide; or anywhere in-between. There are even members who find value in joining the CRA even when they do not have any direct operational or organizational responsibility in California.
Connecting into the CRA is no-cost. The CRA believes money should not be a barrier to information for resiliency professionals. This is only possible because of the generous support of individuals and organizations. To learn more about how you or your organization can support the work of the CRA visit our Support the CRA page.

Dynamic Distribution List: To help align communications with member interests the CRA uses a dynamic distribution list based on member profiles. Once a membership application is accepted you will receive an email to complete a CRA member profile that allows you select your own areas of interest including hazards/threats, infrastructures, and counties. Learn more about how this list works on the CRA’s Dynamic Distribution List Overview Page.
