- Abstract : Businesses are closely related with communities not only as providers of goods but also as job market creators. The timely and efficient recovery of business operations is crucial for serving the basic needs of disaster‐stricken communities and the continuation of daily life activities, thus speeding up the return to "normalcy." The majority of private business is still unaware of the possibilities, opportunities, and advantages of engaging in disaster risk reduction (DRR)‐related initiatives. The current paper argues that information sharing, access to funding, adequate and easy‐to‐understand and to follow rules and regulations, and functioning public institutions with designated coordinating bodies need to be in place to enable this process. This study concludes that coordinated, tailored, continuous efforts by both businesses and the public sector, supported by international organizations, will be needed to tackle the complex web of disaster challenges now and in the decades to follow. The paper will focus on East and South Asia as some of the most disaster‐prone regions in the world, without comparing the success rate between the individual countries. It is, instead, intended as a perspective paper, aiming to provide a broad regional overview of some of the challenges and opportunities in engaging the private sector in disaster management, and to present some high‐level policy suggestions on how to better address the existing issues. 促使东南亚私人部门参与灾害恢复力行动:Abstract : Businesses are closely related with communities not only as providers of goods but also as job market creators.

La recuperación oportuna y eficiente de las operaciones comerciales es crucial para atender las necesidades básicas de las comunidades afectadas por el desastre y la continuación de las actividades de la vida diaria, acelerando así el retorno a la "normalidad". La mayoría de las empresas privadas aún desconocen las posibilidades, oportunidades y ventajas de participar en iniciativas relacionadas con la RRD. El documento actual sostiene que el intercambio de información, el acceso a la financiación, las reglas y regulaciones adecuadas y fáciles de entender y las instituciones públicas que funcionan con los organismos coordinadores designados deben estar en su lugar para permitir este proceso. Este estudio concluye que se necesitarán esfuerzos coordinados, personalizados y continuos, que dependen de la iniciativa combinada de las propias empresas, el sector público nacional y las organizaciones regionales e internacionales, para enfrentar la compleja red de desafíos de desastres ahora y en las próximas décadas. El documento se centrará en el este y el sur de Asia como una de las regiones más propensas a desastres en el mundo, sin comparar la tasa de éxito entre países individuales. En su lugar, está pensado como un documento de perspectiva, con el objetivo de proporcionar una visión general regional de algunos de los desafíos y oportunidades para involucrar al sector privado en la gestión de desastres, y presentar algunas sugerencias de políticas de alto nivel sobre cómo abordar mejor los problemas existentes. … (more)
