Doctors for Disaster Preparedness is a body associated with the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, a non-profit, privately-funded research institute. Its website states that DDP promotes homeland defense and prudent preparedness for disasters of all kinds, including war or terrorism. Its annual meeting brings together authorities on strategic and civil defense as well as scientists speaking on "real threats or manufactured scares". DDP is unconvinced of the role of CFCs in ozone depletion, the role of greenhouse gases in global warming, and in the utility of renewable energy sources.[1]
