Abstract

Catastrophic disasters overwhelm the capacity and capability of existing emergency management frameworks. To reduce the occurrence of such events it is essential to consider the use of alternate sources of capability and capacity. The business sector has a history of involvement during disasters. This report considers models for the utilisation of the business sector in disaster management and provides suggestions for improvement within the Australian context.
