Every £1 invested in societal resilience to disruption generates £35.12 of public value.
Whether the disruption is a flood, winter storm, industrial accident, or wildfire, investing in resilience pays off. Our Social Return on Investment analysis reveals that helping individuals, communities, voluntary (VCFSE), central/local government, and businesses to become more resilient pays back more than thirty?five times over.
This webinar will explore how investing in resilience strengthens people, places, and organisations so they can:
- Avoid disruptions by understanding risks and taking preventative actions.
- Prepare themselves, their household, their community, and their organisation.
- Respond together, with confidence, knowing what to do safely, when, and with the right resources.
- Recover quicker to reduce the impacts and get society back to normal sooner.
Join our speakers who will draw upon recent research in Cumbria, UK (Assessing the public value of societal resilience to disruption) to demonstrate how societal resilience offers extraordinary value – ethically, socially, financially.
