13 The business case for disaster risk reduction to implement the Sendai Framework THE SENDAI FRAMEWORK Reducing disaster risk is a costeffective investment in preventing future losses. Effective disaster risk management contributes to sustainable development. (paragraph 3) and maintain env health conditions There is a need for the public and private sectors and civil society organizations, like local govt as well as academia and scientific and research institutions, to work more closely together and to create opportunities for collaboration, and for businesses to integrate disaster risk into their management practices in communities. (paragraph 6) MISSION STATEMENT To create riskresilient societies by energising the private sector in collaboration with the public sector and other stakeholders to achieve the outcome and goal of the Sendai Framework in a transparent and inclusive way that delivers local and measurable impact.

15 The business case for DRR disaster risk reduction over 33 private sector mentions in Sendai Framework, ubiquitous throughout the document, illustrate the level of partnership necessary for its implementation EH can engage at local community level IN 4 PRIORITIES PRIORITY 1 Understanding disaster risk) Build the knowledge of the private sector (24 g) Local Govt working with Chamber of Commerce PRIORITY 2 Strengthening disaster risk governance Mainstream and integrate DRR; i) address disaster risk in publicly owned, managed or regulated services and infrastructures, Eg Hospitals, Evacuation Centres, Schools, Shopping Centres, Water and Sewage Treatment, Landfills, Swimming Pools, Libraries ii) incentives for actions by businesses; iii) enhance relevant mechanisms and initiatives for disaster risk transparency, and iv) put in place coordination and organizational structures (27 a).

35 Six final messages 1. A disaster impact has no borders the risk is to all of us 2. Indirect losses can cripple national economies, kill small businesses, shut down factories and take away jobs 3. The private sector and local govt with universities and other partners need to start protecting itself governments can t protect the economy alone 4. DRR is not a cost but an investment fundamental to business 5. The private sector is more agile than government it can quickly assess risk, promote systems and standards for resilience 6. UNISDR is forging partnerships with govt, business and universities to build capacity to manage risks instead of disasters

36 Implement your approach with all Sectors Implement your strategy with DRR TRAINING and update EH Accreditation: new undergraduate and post graduate curriculum upgrades are needed this requires stakeholders (EHA) to go into more detail on DRR & would form the basis of further DRR implementation work at the local SMEs business interface
