During this enlightening webinar, we will explore the intricate relationship between business continuity and urban resilience, with a special focus on the Disaster Resilience Scorecard designed specifically for cities. This innovative tool provides a comprehensive suite of assessments, empowering local governments to monitor their progress and challenges in adhering to the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction: 2015-2030. Through detailed evaluations, city officials can identify areas of strength and improvement in disaster preparedness and response, fostering a proactive approach to risk management.
Throughout the session, we'll delve into the significance of aligning business continuity strategies with the Disaster Resilience Scorecard, showcasing how this integration can arm cities with the capabilities needed to adeptly navigate and mitigate a diverse range of disaster risks. By incorporating business continuity principles into their overall disaster resilience framework, cities can ensure the continuity of critical services and functions during times of crisis, minimizing disruptions and enhancing overall community resilience.
