Jurisdictions lack the capital required to build resilient infrastructure. Government funds are frequently too little, too slow, too restrictive, too cumbersome, and too expensive to access. Jurisdictions need access to liquidity before and after disasters and require sufficient agency to direct resources to areas with the most disaster risk and vulnerability. The SPIN Global Community Disaster Resilience Fund facilitates investment of private capital toward public benefit projects that reduce exposure and vulnerability to disasters and increase economic opportunity for underserved and historically marginalized populations.

 

 

 

Businesses that plan and prepare before an emergency event are more likely to reopen once a disaster has happened and immediate response transitions into longer term recovery. Every business faces numerous potential hazards from extreme weather, manmade threats, public health crises, or technological/logistical interruption. Identifying the possible risks to your business and employees is the first step to building a more resilient business.

PSEMA has identified helpful business interruption planning resources available for both government and private sector partners that address hazardous weather events, man-made incidents such as active threats and cybersecurity, and longer-term operational impact requiring climate resilience considerations.

When disaster strikes, the economic recovery of the community is a priority once initial response efforts have concluded. The sooner the business community can reopen, the faster the recovery and reduced financial impact to the local community. Business of all sizes can play a role in the recovery process following a disaster.

PSEMA has identified a set of credible business recovery resources available for government and private sector partners. These cover a wide range of situations, planning protocols, implementable actions, and guidance for decision making that can be integrated into your existing business recovery and restoration initiatives.

Government agencies provide a wide range of resources to the private sector to navigate disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. PSEMA provides members with streamlined access to these resources from agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, the Small Business Administration, IRS, Economic Development Administration, and Department of Agriculture.
