This document discusses building resilience against disasters in India. It provides context on the types of hazards India faces, including earthquakes, floods, wind, cyclones and landslides. It analyzes the vulnerability of critical infrastructure sectors like petroleum industries, power plants, engineering industries and software parks to these hazards based on their location in hazard-prone zones. The role of the corporate sector in disaster management is described through their involvement in infrastructure development, relief operations, rehabilitation and public-private partnerships. The document advocates mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development planning and lists initiatives like awareness programs, capacity building, developing response plans and adopting resilient technologies. Lastly, it discusses the importance of resilience from an organizational perspective.

17. CORPORATE SECTOR
&
DISASTERS

18. Disaster Management is a continuous
and integrated process of planning,
organising, coordinating and
implementing measures for :-
 Prevention of damage or threat of any
disaster
 Mitigation or Reduction of Risk
 Capacity Building
 Preparedness
 Prompt Response
 Evacuation, Rescue and Relief
 Rehabilitation and Reconstruction
ROLE OF CORPORATE SECTOR
IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT

19.  Development of all types of
Infrastructure
 Construction and running of mega /
sensitive projects
 Manufacture and supply of disaster
related critical equipment / heavy
machinery / plant, Communication /
Early Warning Systems
 Massive contribution towards
provision of Relief material
 Initiatives for Rehabilitation and
Reconstruction work in affected
areas
INVOLVEMENT OF PRIVATE
& CORPORATE SECTOR

20.  High Technological Threshold and
Innovative approach
 Capability to provide critical
supplies and equipment with
speed
 Exceptional Management skills
 Adequate Capacity of varied
specialised Skills
 Flexibility and Dynamism to adopt
Public - Private partnership for
various ventures
 Providing Risk transfer mechanism
through tailor-made Insurance
products
STRENGTHS OF
CORPORATE SECTOR

21. MAINSTREAMING DRR
MEASURES
INTO DEVELOPMENTAL EFFORT

22. KEY MESSAGE OF GAR 2015*
 Sustainable Development cannot be
Achieved Unless Disaster Risk is
Reduced
 Globally, expected Average Annual
Loss(AAL) from Earthquakes, Tsunami,
Cyclones & Flooding alone estimated
US $314 Billion
 DRR is a Good Investment
(Precondition for Sustainable
Development)
 Annual Global Investment of US $6
Billion in DR Management Strategies,
would generate benefits of US $ 360
Billion
 Equivalent to Reduction of AAL by
20%
* Global Assessment Report on DRR
2015

23.  Awareness and Community Sensitization
 Capacity Building of Community and all
Stakeholders
 Development of on-site and off-site
Disaster Management Plans
 Conduct of Mock Exercises in close
concert with District Administration
and Community
 Integrate Disaster Management
component in Result Framework
Document (RFD)
 Implementation of Techno-legal
framework ( Bye Laws / Codes / Rules ) for
development of infrastructure
 Techno-financial framework – insistence
of disaster resilient construction for
provision of loans / grants
MAINSTREAMING DRR

24.  R&D initiative to bring in / develop robust
Early Warning and Monitoring Mechanism
 Adopt cost effective technology / equipment
for hazard-resilient housing and Infrastructure
 Support National / Regional DRR and Mitigation
Projects as part of Corporate Social
Responsibility
 Develop a responsive Emergency / Crisis /
Disaster Response mechanism and integrate
same into local Government apparatus
 Factor in Future Challenges :–
 Emanating threat from Climate Change
(moving to Low Carbon Economy)
 Environmental issues
(Renewable Energy, Water & Waste
Management)
SUGGESTED INITIATIVES

25.  How can an Organisation be
Resilient…..?
 How does the Leadership face
various Challenges during a crisis /
setback ?
MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE
