ADPC approach to BCM and tailoring this for India

‘‘Business Resilience’’ in action…

1) Enhancing the disaster resilience of businesses themselves:

ensuring enterprises can be adequately prepared for disasters,

recover quickly from disruptions and even reduce disaster risk

2) Contributing to disaster resilience of the communities and

societies: since businesses are an important part of the

communities and societies, they are an important stakeholder for

disaster resilience both in terms of preparedness, recovery and

disaster risk reduction
