Membership Tiers
In 2024 CRHNet adopted a new membership model to boost member value, introduce new organisational membership tiers, and secure CRHNet’s financial health. Our tiered membership program offers a comprehensive range of benefits, making it easy for individuals and organisations to find the level of engagement that suits their needs. These memberships not only provide access to resources and networking opportunities but also demonstrate your commitment to advancing the field of disaster and emergency management (D&EM) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in Canada.

Individual Membership
Individuals can support the mission of CRHNet and become an active participant in the community through Individual membership. This type of membership is intended for use by a single person. There are two tiers of individual membership: Emerging Professional, and Professional.
Emerging Professional ($50)
The Emerging Professional membership is designed to support students and new professionals through a discounted membership fee. Emerging Professionals have access to all the benefits provided to Professional members, and are represented at CRHNet by the Emerging Professionals (EP) Committee and the EP Board Member.
An individual is eligible for Emerging Professional membership provided they meet, and can provide proof of the following:
- Full-time or part-time enrollment in a degree program at a post-secondary institution in Canada, OR
- Confirmed acceptance into a degree program at a post-secondary institution in Canada for the current or upcoming academic year, OR
- Recently graduated (within 1 year) from a degree program at a post-secondary institution in Canada.
There is no requirement for students to be enrolled in a Disaster and Emergency Management (D&EM) program provided they share the mission, purpose and values of CRHNet. If an individual does not meet the above criteria, but feels they should be included as an Emerging Professional, please send an email to info@crhnet.ca for discussion.
Professional ($150)
Organisational members that are entitled to, or have purchased additional, associate memberships are provided at the professional level.
Please note, as of October 1 2024, CRHNet is proud to share that we will be offering complimentary memberships to all Indigenous emergency managers. We recognize Indigenous peoples as the historical, ancestral, and present-day caretakers of the land, and their critical role in creating resilient communities. For Indigenous peoples who are interested in becoming a member with CRHNet, please send an email to info@crhnet.ca; similarly if you are currently a CRHNet member and would like to renew your membership under this new offer, please send an email to info@crhnet.ca. No ID is required.
Organizations
CRHNet offers four customisable Organisational membership tiers designed to suit the size of your organisation. In addition to member-exclusive benefits, Organisational Members can share the benefits of CRHNet membership with their staff through associate membership.
The Entrepreneur ($300)
The Entrepreneur membership tier is designed with sole proprietorship in mind. This tier is a great fit for professionals such as consultants who are looking for the benefits of an organisational membership at a lower cost. *Please note that Entrepreneur membership does not include any associate members, and is not eligible to purchase any.
Corporate ($800)
The Corporate membership tier offers an excellent entry point for organisations seeking to join the CRHNet community and make a meaningful impact. It was designed with small business in mind who would like to extend CRHNet membership to a small number of employees.
Organizations with a Corporate membership are entitled to 2 free Associate members.
Enterprise ($1500)
The Enterprise Membership tier is designed to provide substantial benefits for organisations seeking to actively engage with the CRHNet Community and showcase their commitment to D&EM and DRR. This is a great membership tier for post-secondary institutions who are hoping to extend membership to a number of faculty through associate membership.
Organizations with a Enterprise membership are entitled to 4 free Associate members.
Industry ($3000)
Industry level members are provided an extensive package of benefits to maximise your organisation impact and recognition. This is designed for the “heavy hitters” in the field of D&EM and DRR.
Organizations with an Industry membership are entitled to 8 free Associate members.
