Would your business be able to continue operating if a flood, a cyberattack, or a supply chain disruption occurred tomorrow? Are you familiar with the resources, tools, and technologies that can help you protect your income, assets, and reputation while also strengthening your city's resilience?
SMEs are the driving force behind our cities, but they are also among the most vulnerable during crises. Recent events across several European cities have shown how critical it is to anticipate impacts, recover quickly, and emerge stronger. This is not only essential for their own survival but also contributes significantly to local economic recovery. That's why UNDRR and the Barcelona City Council, in partnership with several business associations, are hosting this webinar to help you strengthen your company's ability to respond and adapt.
