Resilience Business Networks: Are business networks emergency ready?
Resilience Business Networks: Are business networks emergency ready?
Through our partnership with Greater London Authority’s Resilience Unit, Business in the Community (BITC) is pleased to launch an insightful report into the critical role of business networks in strengthening community resilience and the opportunity for deeper engagement with Local Resilience Forums (LRF’s).
While businesses are essential in emergency preparedness and response, involvement has been hindered by low awareness, resource limitations and competing priorities. This study identifies key opportunities to integrate businesses into resilience planning and equip them with the tools needed to be proactive contributors to the ‘whole of society’ approach to resilience, which is set out in the UK Government resilience framework.
