Executive Director of the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF)
Synopsis

The Philippines has long faced challenges in ensuring reliable lifeline services—such as power, telecommunications, and water—whenever disasters strike. Because many of these services are privately operated, resilience depends on strong partnerships between the private sector and government.

This webinar introduces PDRF’s area-wide Business Continuity Management (BCM) approach, which integrates risk assessment and resilience frameworks with local disaster risk reduction planning. By doing so, communities and industries are better prepared to respond collectively, safeguard critical infrastructure, and ensure that recovery is not only faster but more sustainable.

Why This Webinar Matters

Traditional business continuity planning often focuses solely within the boundaries of a single organisation; however, disasters transcend industries, communities, and jurisdictions. When lifeline services fail, entire regions are affected.

This webinar highlights the shift from organisation-centric BCM to ecosystem-based resilience, where multiple stakeholders coordinate and align their strategies. It is an opportunity to understand how collaborative planning, policy support, and advanced technologies can converge to create more adaptive, connected, and resilient communities.

Key Discussion Points:
  • Participants will gain insights into:

    • Collaborative Planning: Building strong partnerships between businesses, government, and service providers for unified disaster response.

    • Standardisation & Framework Alignment: Leveraging ISO 22301 and PSCP for interoperability and consistency.

    • Critical Infrastructure Resilience: Safeguarding essential services to reduce cascading disruptions.

    • Technology & Data Sharing: Harnessing real-time data, early warning systems, and PDRF’s Emergency Operations Centre.

    • Regulatory Support: How government incentives and policies promote the adoption of area-wide BCM practices.

Who Should Attend

This session is ideal for:

  • Business leaders and risk managers are seeking to strengthen resilience across supply chains.

  • Government officials are involved in disaster risk reduction and policy-making.

  • Service providers in utilities, telecommunications, transport, and other critical sectors.

  • Academics, researchers, and students interested in disaster resilience and business continuity.

  • NGOs and development organisations engaged in community recovery and resilience-building.
