When disaster strikes, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) suffer the most—and many never recover. The International Chamber of Commerce’s new guide, Stronger Together in Emergencies: How Chambers of Commerce Can Strengthen Small Business Resilience, offers practical tools to help chambers and associations support SMEs before, during, and after emergencies.

Why This Guide Matters
Disasters are becoming more frequent and severe worldwide, requiring better planning and collaboration. Chambers of Commerce are uniquely positioned to help because SMEs are vital to the global economy — they make up about 90% of all businesses and provide 70% of employment. Yet they also account for up to three-quarters of disaster-related business losses.
This guide helps ensure these businesses don’t just survive disasters — they bounce back stronger.
