“We are honored to work with the UNDRR’s Alliance for Disaster
Resilient Societies at such a pivotal moment of ongoing climate
challenges,” said David Wagner, CEO of Everbridge. “Helping to
build resilient communities and organizations is core to our
mission. Everbridge is committed to acting now in driving the
innovation and collaboration – with our customers, partners, and
stakeholders – needed to pursue global climate goals within our
industry and beyond.”
The Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework marks the halfway
point in the implementation of the framework, which was adopted by
UN member states in 2015. The Sendai Framework is a 15-year
voluntary, non-binding agreement that aims to reduce disaster risk
and build resilience in communities around the world, particularly
in the face of climate-fueled threats.
“During severe weather events, governments and enterprises alike
have a responsibility to respond effectively and efficiently in
order to protect people, assets, and facilities from harm,” said
Everbridge delegate to the UNDRR Lorenzo Marchetti, attending the
High Level Meeting of the Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework on
May 18-19 in New York. “Citizens and employees are looking to
leaders to successfully guide our lives and livelihoods toward a
more sustainable future. As leaders begin taking steps toward that
goal, it is crucial to not only focus on hitting targets such as
reduced emissions and investment in renewables, but to proactively
mitigate disasters by building a comprehensive climate adaptation
strategy.”
Across the globe, both public and private sectors are more
concerned than ever about addressing climate change and its
associated risks. “In the period 2000 to 2019, there were 7,348
major recorded disaster events claiming 1.23 million lives,
affecting 4.2 billion people (many on more than one occasion)
resulting in approximately US$2.97 trillion in global economic
losses,” according to a report conducted by the UN Office for
Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR). The report stated: “The last
twenty years have seen the number of major floods more than double,
from 1,389 to 3,254, while the incidence of storms grew from 1,457
to 2,034.”
The report also records major increases in other categories
including drought, wildfires, and extreme temperature events.
As a member of the UNDRR ARISE network, Everbridge will work
with other private and public organizations to promote
disaster-resilient communities and economies. Everbridge’s critical
event management platform supports preparedness and response
efforts for governments, businesses, and healthcare organizations
around the world.
