“Our our rainfall for six hours today is nearly equal to our average monthly rainfall...Due to climate change, we should expect more extreme weather events like extreme rainfall," Nathaniel Cruz, weather services bureau head of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration on record-breaking continuous rainfall for 6 hours, causing extreme floods in Metro Manila, impeding businesses.
With the impetus from the 2005 Hyogo Framework for Action, the global instrument for promoting disaster preparedness, “governments and firms are now focusing heavily on risk reduction, aside from response,” said Adelina Kamal, Head, ASEAN DMHAD.
“I’m no longer surprised when my colleagues across the region talk about business continuity. The efforts and awareness on business continuity and managing emergency have indeed increased,” added Julius Seno, ConocoPhillips Indonesia in an interview with Center for Business Strategy and Tactics
The recent Air France crash in Brazil killed 228 people on board. Exceeding 200 lives were seized by the deadly Australian wildfire in early February 2009. Over 100 million dollars are now spent to battle a Phase 6 swine flu pandemic. Just last year, a million dollar economy had been crushed by cyclone Nargis. Not to mention, man-made disasters from crashing planes, oil spills and plant fires cost companies a lot of money and downtime.
Fact: There’s absolutely no low-cost emergency. A bottoming global economy, combined with increasing natural and man-made disasters, means one thing to you -- you cannot afford to make mistakes.
EMPRR 2009 Global Summit is shaped with the fragile economy in mind. The conference offers a unique kind of value proposition, that is, you should be able to:
- Ensure strong partnerships with over 150 professionals and firms representing government, business and NGOs as you give updates on concrete actions you’ve undertaken to adopt the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015
- Maximise effectiveness and track the progress of your risk reduction strategies by benchmarking with world’s top emergency experts
- Present your expertise and industry leadership to your peers and client
- Reveal proactive, integrated, multi-hazard and multi-sectoral approaches within the disaster reduction cycle
- Reduce your organisation’s vulnerability to hazards and disasters
