1. INTRODUCTION Theprivatesector’sprofitabilityandgrowthisincreasinglyaffectedbybothmoderatehazardsandmajor catastrophes such as floods, storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, droughts andtsunamis. The 2011Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, followed by the unprecedentedfloodinginThailandinthesameyear,werebothwakeupcallsfortheprivatesectorattheglobaland regional levels, due to their impacts on global supply chains and the number of smallerbusinessesthatceasedoperation.Theimpactofdisasterscausedbysuchnaturalhazardsisalsolikelyto increase inAsiaasclimatechangebringsmoreextremeweathereventsandcausessealevelstorise.

Businessresilienceandadaptationtodisasterandclimatechangeriskisnowrecognizedasakeyelement of economic resilience, especially for micro, small and medium enterprises. The 3rdUnited Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, in March 2015, reiterated theprivatesector’s role in reducingdisaster risk. Itsoutcomedocument,TheSendaiFramework forDisaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015-2030, highlighted the need for the business sector tointegrate disaster risk management, including business continuity, into business models andpractices throughdisaster-risk-informed investments. TheBangkokDeclaration of the 6thAsianMinisterialConferencesonDisasterRiskReductionencourages“risk-informedinvestmentaspartofbusinessprocess”toachievebusinesssustainabilityandresilience.Since2011,theAsia-PacificEconomic Cooperation (APEC) summit has repeatedly called for private sector resilience andenhancedcapacitiesofbusinesses,particularlySMEsinpreparingfordisasters.The21stAPECSMEMinisterial Meeting in China in 2014 also emphasized the importance of disaster resilience ofSMEs and their recommendations include capacity building and establishment of businesscontinuityplans(BCPs)forallindustries.

Theprivatesectorhasrarelybeenaddressedbygovernmentsorprivatesectororganizationsasatargetgroup fordisaster resilience.Yet theprivate sectorplaysakey role innationaleconomicwellbeing and is also pivotal for post-disaster economic recovery in guaranteeing income andemployment.While all private sector entities are affected, small andmedium-sized enterprises(SMEs)areparticularlyvulnerabletodisastersduetoalackofinvestmentbythemindisasterriskmanagement.SMEshave limited financial resources,and limitedaccess toadvisoryandsupportservicesorriskfinance.However,SMEsaccountformorethan97%ofallenterprisesintheregion(APEC,2015),andthusplayakeyroleineconomicprosperity.

In part, the lack of focus on SME disaster resilience can be attributed to gaps in the policyframeworks and institutional mechanisms. Business continuity needs of SMEs are not wellintegratedintonationaldisasterriskmanagementsystems,whilethepolicyframeworkssetuptodevelop and promote SMEs tend to treat natural hazards as somehow outside the importantbusiness risks they need to address. There is still a lack of awareness amongst SMEs of thepotential financial impacts of disasters and of themanyways they canmitigate these impactsthroughriskassessments,preparednessandcontingencyplanning,aswellasemergencyresponseandrecovery.Largerenterprisesaremoreawareoftheseveryrealrisksandmorelikelytoincludethem in business continuity management. They are thus in a position to provide support andcapacity building to SMEs, especially those that are part of their supply chains.

The forum took on added importance as an opportunity for stocktaking amongst policymakers,governments, businesses and development partners almost exactly one year following theagreement of the Sendai Framework for DRR (2015-2030). Whilst the thematic sessions wereprimarily focused on the Asian region, these topics were supplemented by global perspectivesprovidedbygovernmentsanddevelopmentpartners fromotherkey regionsengaged inprivatesectorengagementinDRR.

TheForumwasattendedbyover200participantsfromgovernment,diplomaticmissions,privatesector,bankingandfinance,publicorganizationsanddevelopmentpartnersfromtheAsiaPacificregionandbeyond.Notably,one thirdof theattendeeswerecomprisedof individuals fromtheprivate sector, banking and finance institutions, public organizations, with significantrepresentationfromSMEs.

Mr. Isara Vongkusolkit, Chairman of Board of Trade, Thailand provided useful insight from theprivate sector itself, explaining that companies of all sizes have considerable experience ofmanaging risks and threats to their operations which can inform wider multi-stakeholderapproachesformanagingandmitigatingnaturaldisasters.

RoadtoResilience:PrivateSectorExperiencesonDisasterResilience

In the aftermath of disaster, the private sector takes various steps for their own recovery inaddition to supporting the efforts of the government in overall recovery and reconstructionefforts.However,suchameasurehasbeenlimitedtoaneventanddoesn’tincludeaspartoftheirbusinesscontinuityplanning.

By preparing for adverse events, business canminimize damage to their employees, propertiesand contractualobligationsaswell as facilitatequick recoveryat the timeof adisaster.

Policymakers and decision makers as well as members of business community recognize thecrucial role of private sector in the management of disaster and climate risks. The SendaiFramework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDR) 2015-2030, highlights the need for the privatesectortointegratedisasterriskmanagement,includingbusinesscontinuity,intobusinessmodelsand practices and to ensure their contribution and accountability in the resilience of society atlarge.
