The Disaster Rapid Response Team, composed of a total of 25 regional experts, visits the sites of affected small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the early stages of disasters such as floods and typhoons to provide customized recovery plans. Within three days of receiving damage reports, the team visits the affected companies to coach them on damage recovery measures and recovery priorities, and informs them about disaster support services available through connected local governments and related organizations. Additionally, if experts determine that policy funds are needed for disaster recovery based on their diagnosis, SBC plans to provide emergency management stabilization funds through its regional headquarters and branches.
SBC piloted the Disaster Rapid Response Team for SMEs affected by the fire in Gyeongsan Knowledge Industry District in February and the wildfire in Uljin in March. Immediately after the disasters, the team visited the sites with professional loss adjusters to assess the damage situation, estimate expected losses, and support the establishment of response plans, thereby helping affected companies to normalize their management early.
