Needs assessment for the private sector in the Philippines: Disaster preparedness, response and recovery

Together with ILO ACT/EMP, the Employers’ Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) is working to develop strategies and practical tools that can be deployed to enterprises in the Philippines on disaster preparedness, response and recovery. If enterprises are equipped with basic knowledge and prevention tools, they will be able to rebound from disasters, resume normal operations and be able to provide more jobs to people in affected areas. This report provides recommendations for the leadership role ECOP, as the nation’s chief representative organization for enterprises, can assume on this front.
