Rethinking Disaster Policy: Empowering the Private Sector for Resilience

In the face of evolving threats and a changing threat landscape, it is crucial to reevaluate and adapt disaster policy to ensure the resilience of our nation.

Let’s explore the need for change in disaster policy to bridge the gap between the public and private sectors and unlock the potential of private entities in building a resilient nation.
