What exactly is "private sector resource mobilization"?

The Private Sector includes businesses, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), educational institutions, faith-based groups, and civic groups. In large-scale disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the federal, state and local government resources are often overextended, and in some countries, non-existent. The combined resources of the private sector, however, are often overlooked. Humanitarian International Services Group are subject matter experts in connecting private sector resources and capabilities to disaster relief efforts and sustainable development. HISG is networked to thousands of private sector organizations, and is uniquely positioned to mobilize those resources should the need arise.

HISG CEO Kay Hiramine has been featured on DenverPost.com and received an award from President Bush for volunteerism. HISG’s guidance in private sector mobilization has also been commended by Dubai’s GulfNews.com, U.S. Agency for International Development, Strategy-Business.com, and official government reports to the U.S. Senate.
