Creating Economic Resilience: Preparing the Business Community (Workshop)

This workshop will enable business leaders to utilize various risk management tools to conduct a risk assessment, conduct a business disaster impact analysis, and develop resilience strategies that prevent and mitigate adverse consequences on the business. During the workshop, we will use several sources of disaster risk related information to identify and prioritize the greatest natural, technological, and human-caused risks to your business and regional economy. Using this information, we will examine nine-essential components of your organization and assess the impacts from various disaster risks. Finally, we will facilitate development of resilience strategies to prepare your organization to withstand, adapt, and recovery from a wide range of risks. As part of this workshop, ASG will provide access to our learning management system where participants can download course materials to include the Business Disaster Risk Reduction Tool and the Industry Disaster Risk Reduction Tool which will be used during the workshop. This workshop can be customized for a single business, multiple businesses, or an economic development organization.

Crisis Leadership: Accelerating Economic Recovery

This course provides community and business leaders with an opportunity to forecast the economic impacts from a disaster across the essential functions of a community and utilize the deliberate planning process to develop strategies and lines of effort to mitigate disaster impacts on the local economy and accelerate recovery. Studies have found that many disaster-impacted communities lag in economic recovery, taking five or more years to recover to the pre-disaster GDP. But communities that recover within two years to their pre-disaster GDP had adequate plans, mitigation, access to disaster recovery funds, executable contracts/projects with recovery contractors, and identified and planned for vulnerable populations. This course provides a framework for predicting disaster impacts on the economy, advanced decision-making, collaborating among emergency managers, public safety, and private sector stakeholders, and developing strategies and lines of effort for accelerated recovery. Through a series of interactive lessons and practical exercises, participants will learn fundamental crisis leadership and decision-making theory, application of the Community Lifeline toolkit in deliberate planning, and approaches to preventing and mitigating economic impacts through strategic planning, projects, and investments. Whether you are working to improve your Community Resilience score, or disaster-proof your local economy, this course delivers the content, resources, tools, and practical discussions with experts to accelerate economic recovery.
