  1. MULTI-HAZARD PREVENTION AND PREPAREDNESS BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES DonatoKiniger-Passigli

  2. Why SMEs and Multi-Hazard BCM? KEY ROLE IN THE VALUE CHAIN VIS-À-VIS COMMUNITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT SMALL COMPANIES SUPPLY CHAIN PARTNERS OF LARGER COMPANIES HIGHER VULNERABILITY SMES ARE UNPREPARED TO COPE WITH RISKS AND DISASTERS. SMES ARE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTOR TO EMPLOYMENT. THEY PROVIDE ON AVERAGE 66% OF TOTAL EMPLOYMENT. 177 MILLION SMES IN THE G20 COUNTRIES. IN THE EMERGING G20 ECONOMIES (71%) OF EMPLOYMENT. GENERATE 68% OF ALL NEW JOBS AND HAVE THE HIGHEST EMPLOYMENT GROWTH RATES. MOST JOB CREATION IS IN SMALLER FIRMS (< 100 WORKERS) AND IN YOUNG FIRMS (< 5 YEARS).

  3. THE CHALLENGE IS: TO INTEGRATE SMES INTO GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS BY IMPROVING THEIR PREPAREDNESS /COMPETITIVENESS PREPAREDNESS AND BETTER MANAGERIAL SKILLS FOR THE PROMOTION OF SMES

  4. QUESTIONSfrom SMEs most exposed to cyclical disasters such as: earthquakes, floods, landslides, storms, volcanic eruptions or other sudden shocks. • WHAT TO DO IF A DISASTER STRIKES? • WHAT ARE THE CONTINGENCY MEASURES TO BE TAKEN PRIOR TO A SUDDEN EMERGENCY? • HOW TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF RECURRENT CATACLYSMS? • HOW TO STAY IN BUSINESS AND PROTECT WORKFORCE AND ASSETS?

  5. BCM versus Hazards and Shocks PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED….WHEN CONFRONTED WITH HAZARDS AND RISKS Resilience is equal to the capacity to absorb shocks through emergency preparedness   The enabling environmentfor SMEs should be improved with adequate preparedness and contingency planning Risk Management : Avoidance- Reduction - Sharing/Transfer-Retention BCM = Balance among: Reduction - Sharing/Transfer-Retention

  6. BCM VERSUS HAZARDS AND SHOCKS BCM Preventive measures Response Options Preparedness arrangements PRIOR TO OCCURRENCE OF A DISASTER WHEN THE DISASTER OCCURS

  7. KEY STEPS FOR BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT BCM does so by strengthening resilience through risk prevention and mitigation measures, such as preparedness arrangements. A management process to counteract negative impacts on organizational activities BENEFITS FOR SUPPLY CHAIN and COMMUNITY BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS and IMPROVED MANAGEMENT IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY RISK REDUCTION/ PREVENTION PREPAREDNESS MEASURES

  8. Path to Business and Community Resilience (1) Identification of essential operations and critical resources (2) Identification of specific risks and reduction of their possible impacts Identification of specific risks and reduction of their possible impact (3) Preparedness/Planning and Policy-making ((4)Response Actions /Recovery Awareness (5)Awareness/Communications HIGHER PREPAREDNESS HIGHER CAPABILITY TO RESPOND HIGHER ABILITY TO RECOVER

  9. Step 1: Determine your business priorities • Step 2: Identify critical assets and inputs for your priorities • Step 3: Identify the time-critical operations • Step 4: Map-out internal and external risk areas impacting the necessary inputs • Step 5: Prepare a set of possible threat scenarios • Step 6: Design and validate the business continuity plan (BCP) • Step 7: Design and roll-out communication procedures • Step 8: Design and deliver training on BCM • Step 9: Activate and close the BCP • Step 10: Gather lessons learnt and adjust the BCP

  10. What does it take? INTEGRATIVE PERSPECTIVE FLEXIBLE PLANNING ( NOT ONE SINGLE PLAN SUITS ALL) PARTICIPATORY AND INTEGRATIVE APPROACH (NATIONAL/LOCAL LEVEL) NETWORKING AND PARTNERING INCENTIVES FOR RESILIENCE THROUGH DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT TRAINING AND FINANCE TO TURN RISKS INTO OPPORTUNITIES MANAGERIAL SUPPORT TO TRANSFER AND REDUCE RISKS EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURCES EVALUATION OF POSSIBLE DISASTER IMPACT AND OF PREPAREDNESS INTERVENTIONS INFORMATION AND ANALYSIS THAT CAN IMPROVE DECISIONS
