The CBI Community

For companies or business networks, navigating disaster management can be a daunting task, often leaving organizations unsure of where to begin or how to proceed.

By joining CBI as a Member Network, your organization will be part of a global community dedicated to advocating the active involvement of the business sector in disaster preparedness, response and recovery efforts.

As a CBI Member Network, you’ll gain access to a wealth of tools, resources, and learning opportunities, fostering collaboration with other private sector networks and key humanitarian and development agencies focused on working with the private sector in disaster risk management.

CBI welcomes partnerships with established business networks or chambers of commerce, provided that they have at least one dedicated champion committed to engaging with disaster risk management and crisis resilience initiatives, from preparedness to disaster response and recovery.
