“The more governments, UN agencies, organizations, businesses and
civil society understand risk and vulnerability, the better equipped they
will be to mitigate disasters when they strike and save more lives”
Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary-General
Surveying to understand why the private sector hasn’t
engaged in DRM
www.theriseinitiative.org 2
Survey* indicated that needed to be:
1. “clear value proposition/business case for investing in
prevention rather than just responding”
2. ways to engage private sector in "tangible, concrete
projects and actions”
May 20, 2015
Engage major institutional investors
such as sovereign wealth and pension
funds to consider disaster risk in their
investment portfolios.
Alliance to unlock public/private DRM potential
Support the private sector in
developing improved disaster risk
management capacities.
Support the development
of improved risk metrics for
business and economic
forecasting.
Support the development of
voluntary industry standards for
disaster risk management.
Support academic institutions, training
centers and courses and business

on business risk management.
Support local business
communities and government
departments to increase disaster
resilience in their municipalities
and cities.
Facilitate joint learning in support of the United
