CMAX Foundation launched in Mexico a public-private network for disaster risk reduction, bringing together companies and institutions around resilience before the next disaster.
Context
After the September 2017 earthquakes, Mexico faced the question of how to organize prevention and response across public agencies, companies and civil society, rather than only rebuilding.
What the Foundation and partners did
CMAX Foundation convened a private-sector alliance for disaster resilience and disaster risk reduction (DRR), announced in January 2019, building on the Social Innovation Lab for Emergencies work of 2018.
