Every Managing Executive in the public or private sector, has a duty to ensure that appropriate risk management has been put in place in his area of management. Hazardous events of natural or technological origin, can happen anywhere, and at anytime.

It is never too early to integrate Risk Management into corporate governance - but it may often be too late! One of GESG’s many functions, is to marshal resources for collaborative activities, by drawing upon its experienced research, applications, and professional-practices personnel, in order that they may minimize disaster risks, particularly with respect communities that are more vulnerable than others. GESG sets about addressing “Disaster Mitigation” in several ways: (general description only)

1

Community based economies which negatively effect an otherwise self sustainable environment and its planned or currently operational remedies

2

Natural disaster prevention/limitation via education

3

Natural disaster humanitarian rapid response

4

Natural disaster macro planning/risk mitigation/technologies & research

5

Man-Made disaster prevention/limitation education

6

Man-Made disaster humanitarian rapid response


With respect Man-Made macro planning/risk-mitigation/technologies, & the research into Natural and Man-Made disaster improbabilities, GESG implements awareness programs: (general description only)

1

Establishing Agribusiness oriented environmental protection developments

2

Establishing Disaster Recovery Institutes for International Standards

3

Establishing Disaster Recovery Centers and rapid response

4

Establishing Regional risk mitigation, insurance and re insurance/and catastrophic bonds to be issued

5

Establishing Community education towards environment and disaster awareness in schools and workplaces

6

Establishing humanitarian missions and care programs

7

Establishing private partnering agreements to source and utilize international resources to macro plan risk mitigation/technologies & research

The PRIMARY objective of GESG, is to assist and to enable people, agencies, and private corporations, with anticipating disasters, and in showing them how to take action, to protect lives and property, whilst simultaneously insuring sustainable social and economic development. GESG’s activities include, supporting the pursuit of an optimal balance, between disaster risk reduction, risk sharing mechanisms, and the management of residual risks in the face of limited resources.

GESG maintains its commitment to address disaster analysis, early warning and recovery procedures, by addressing other related issues, such as, all and any activity that proves detrimental to the environment, and has a particular interest in such events as they occur in the Third World developing countries.

Community awareness programs are being created by GESG, addressing such issues for sustainable agribusiness/appropriate fertilizers/methodologies, businesses and technologies. GESG achieves its aims, by filling knowledge gaps, and by providing a “clearing house” for information, and where GESG builds know-how programs, mobilizes resources, and forges partnerships with governments, private enterprises, international agencies, and NGOs, at privately owned humanitarian, business and commercial levels.

GESG’s also works with a wide range of international organizations and institutions, whose common objective, is disaster risk reduction, thereby enhancing public safety, and promoting sustainable development.

With respect normal commerce and trade processes, GESG sets about its interactions and involvement, implementing a balanced merger of both humanitarian and commercial sectors, thereby creating a balanced private sector, “Responsible Trade & Development Humanitarian Complex,” which contrasts with the old “Industrial Military Complex of others.”Despite the availability of cost-effective technologies for disaster early warning, prevention and mitigation, many governments, especially those in developing countries, lack an adequate institutional framework, in which to act efficiently and cost effectively.

Natural and technological disasters often cause substantial damage to lives and property, infrastructures, cultural heritage, and the basic ecological basis for life. Indirect losses, in terms of business interruption, loss of production, and loss of services, often exceeds losses due to physical damage, caused by either natural or man-made disasters. Developing countries are affected more severely than developed countries, and thereby often suffer a dramatic decline in their Gross National Product (GNP).

Increased Losses From Disasters
Disaster losses have increased dramatically over the past two decades. This has resulted from changes in the patterns of hazard occurrences, and from the increased vulnerability of growing populations. In the region in which GESG initially operates, the conservative 2007 population estimates reflect a population of ¾ of a billion people. An increasing population makes it increasingly difficult to exploit marginal lands, and to accommodate a growing number of people in urban areas.

The potential for future disasters increases, as Third World countries populations grow, and with the increase in the number of people, so increase their daily consumption, compromising their natural resources, environment, and natural abilities to sustain their country’s otherwise harmonious balancing effect.

In order that we develop effective and efficient, tools and strategies, for disaster risk assessment, and ultimate reduction, it is necessary to understand the factors contributing to those risks. Natural hazard events often precipitate subsequent technological failures, and the ever growing dependency on tightly coupled technological systems, increases the potential for catastrophic failures and disasters.

Natural and technological disasters, also threaten the ecological basis of life, as they often cause long-term irreparable environmental damage. It is because of all of the above, and more, that the GESG directives are to establish itself as a fully operating and proactive , private, and partnering entity, functioning in fields that assist the development of Third World countries.

GESG_CIDR System

Serving as a focal point, is the GESG-CIDR System©, for the coordination of strategies and programs, designed to reduce, as well as to early warn of natural disasters, insuring synergy between disaster reduction strategies, and those in the private sector socio-economic, and humanitarian fields. GESG offers private sector investment, and private partnering/joint venture opportunities;

• Supports inter-agency task forces, with their development of policies on natural disaster reduction; • Assists S.E. Asia and Pacific cultures, reduce, and eventually eradicate, the negative effects of natural hazards, through advocacy campaigns; • Serves as a regional “clearing house,” for the dissemination and exchange of information and knowledge, on all aspects of disaster reduction strategies; • Is a backstop, with respect the policy and advocacy activities, of agencies for the reduction of natural disasters.
