Abstract

The frequency of natural disasters, particularly in Asia Pacific regions, has drastically increased in the recent years. Responding to this unprecedented frequency and magnitude, the corporate sector has started to play a vital role in lessening the damage and impact after disaster as well as risk-reduction activities. This study took an exploratory survey among a number of corporate sector companies in Mumbai, India, and studied their attitude and behavior toward community and disaster management by focusing on their risk management, community involvement, and corporate social responsibility practices. It provides a wide range of corporate activities in disaster management field and their tendencies.
