Mission
The ResOrgs programme of public good research is aimed at effective capability building through research activities with significant impacts on policy and practice. The group, in existence since 2004, has hosted an international conference, industry and sector workshops, produced many conference and journal articles and industry reports. These research outputs are already influencing government policy and industry practice.
Activities and outputs of the group include informing and focusing debate in areas such as Civil Defence Emergency Management, post-disaster recovery, and the resilience of critical infrastructure sectors, in addition to core activities in relation to organisation resilience capability building and benchmarking. They have produced practical frameworks and guides and helped organisations to develop and implement practical resilience strategies suitable to their environment.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
