The ability for communities to recover from unforeseen shocks and stress is significantly handicapped without an engaged private sector.

Globally, the declarations of natural, human-made and technological disasters has grown in frequency in the last decade. In the United States alone, there were nearly 2,000 major disaster declarations in the last ten years.

How does the private sector prepare for unforeseen disruptions and how do they view their role in recovery?

While we know what triggers a public sector response, there is limited discussion of what triggers the private sector to respond and how.

In a conversation between Michael Berkowitz, the President of 100 Resilient Cities and Kellie Bentz, the Head of Global Disaster Response & Relief for Airbnb, we'll dig into these questions.
