We all have a part to play in resilience and emergency response in our communities. What if there was a flood? A power outage? Another pandemic or terrorist attack? How prepared are the businesses in your network to withstand and recover from these emergencies, and how could they support their communities in response?
The Prince's Responsible Business Network have put together a survey which aims to help Local Resilience Forums gather views from business and enterprise networks about how they view their role in local resilience and preparedness, and how they can ensure that businesses are able to respond to emergencies and support their local communities.
