1. Rationale of research
7. Further works 8. References
Damage to the built environment and the consequential effects of this damage contributes significantly to economic loss from natural disasters (Haigh, 2010; UNDP, 2013). See Figure 1.
3. Objectives1. To identify and assess the social, economic and environmental
impacts of disasters on businesses;
2. To examine the loss mitigation measures that can be adopted by SMEs to address the economic impacts of disaster;
3. To evaluate the characteristics of risks of investing in disaster resilience;
4. To assess barriers to private investment and benefits of investing in disaster resilience;
5. To develop an instrument for assessing disaster resilience maturity level of the built environment of SMEs;
6. To assess the relationship between built environment disaster resilience maturity level and expected economic loss from a disaster; and
7. To develop and validate the framework that incorporates disaster resilience maturity level and economic loss.
The conceptual framework is currently being developed, expert forum review will commence soon. Other activities will be carried out as outlined in the method section.
The aim of this research is to develop a framework that encourages investment in disaster resilience of the built environment for the business sector through the analysis of disaster resilience maturity levels and risks associated with each level.

Figure 2 How threats that accompany flood events interact with properties
Different threat types attack the elements of a property and its surroundings at different levels and stages during a disaster. Increased investment in the use of disaster resilience and resistance measures in the built environment can help minimize damage and loss.
Note: Economic loss is dependent on the depth of impact/magnitude of loss of functionality and the time taken to recover.
