ound the globe, IBM has continually engaged in response to disaster crises in the communities in which we live, work and do business. Last year was no different. Today, our responses integrate advanced technologies with the expertise of IBMers around the world who have the desire and training to serve. We deliver essential components of what it takes for affected areas and individuals to regroup, rebuild, and recover – including solutions to gather and share data about affected populations, relief efforts, and the deployment of technologies. And we remain engaged for months or years after an event to help with recovery.
In their latest publication, A Unified Front: Business Partnerships for Effective Disaster Preparedness, Response, and Recovery, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation presents a comprehensive overview of corporate engagement in disaster preparedness and response – including the view from IBM. I invite you to download and share both the full report and the chapter detailing IBM’s efforts and perspective on this critical global issue.
Diane Melley is Vice President for Global Citizenship Initiatives with IBM Corporate Citizenship & Corporate Affairs.
