Enhancing Community Resilience – The Role of the Private Sector
Time
10.00am-11.30am (UK time)
About
When disaster strikes, the private sector can make all the difference. Communities face increasing risks from disasters and disruptions, but they cannot face these challenges alone.
The private sector can strengthen resilience through:
- investment
- innovation, and
- partnerships.
From supporting small businesses to developing community-based early warning systems, business involvement can make the difference between recovery and collapse.
This webinar will explore how private sector organisations can contribute to disaster risk reduction (DRR) and enhance the resilience of communities. A gentle reminder that webinar attendees must register - please use the link provided.
