The UNISDR Private Sector Alliance for Disaster Resilient Societies, or ARISE, is a voluntary group working internationally on themes like disaster risk management strategies or urban risk and resilience.
As the result of a mutual desire of the public and the private sector to share knowledge and experience, Canadian businesses have now joined the coalition to increase resilience to natural hazards like floods and wildfire, but also man-made catastrophes. ARISE works towards engaging those companies, helping them to recognize and limit their own risk factors.
