Building and Enabling Disaster Resilience of Coastal Communities (BEDROC) is a Civil Society Organization (CSO) set up in order to continue the project-based post-tsunami development interventions initiated by the NGO Co-ordination and Resource Centre (NCRC), Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu, India.

NCRC, which started off on 1 Jan 2005 as the NGO Co-ordination Centre, transformed to a joint, time-bound intervention of South Indian Federation of Fishermen Societies (SIFFS) and Social Need Education and Human Awareness (SNEHA), and supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The Chief Executive of BEDROC is Ms. Annie George,[1] a seasoned professional who has been involved in the tsunami response at Nagapattinam from Jan 2005.

Innovations in tsunami rehabilitations in Nagapattinam also include ICT-based interventions, some of which have attracted attention from global technology organizations such as the IEEE.

BEDROC, with its unique experience in the post-tsunami rescue, recovery, rehab, and reconstruction, as well as the development interventions taken up under its stewardship, is poised to provide alternative models to other civil society organizations around the region and the rest of the world.
