Marine Exploration Joins UN Disaster Risk Reduction Private Sector
Partnership
CORAL GABLES, Fla.,
Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Marine
Exploration, Inc. (OTC: MEXP) recently joined 34 other companies
that are members of a Private Sector Partnership (PSP) Working
Group on disaster risk reduction that has been initiated by the
United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR).
UNISDR is the UN's focal point for the coordination of the
International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) and the
harmonization of activities among stakeholders. The Strategy brings
governments, organizations, universities, institutions,
corporations and individuals together to reduce economic losses as
well as the number of those who lose their lives to or are injured
by disasters.
The goal of disaster risk reduction (DRR) is to reduce the
impact of events such as earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones
through prevention. Reducing exposure to natural hazards, lessening
the vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land
and the environment, as well as improving preparedness for adverse
events, are all examples of disaster risk reduction and the
building of disaster resilience. Both are integral parts of global
sustainable development approaches.
MEXP has a subsidiary partnership with Atmospheric Water
Solutions, Inc. (AWS). AWS is the patent holder of
atmospheric water technology, which manufactures pure water from
the air. The company offers machines that can produce from two to
30,000 gallons of pure water a day. AWS machines are sold
through retail distributors and directly into commercial and
government solutions.
Howard Ullman, CEO of AWS, said,
"The mission of Atmospheric Water Solutions, Inc. is to provide
sustainable access to clean water. Our mission is consistent
with UNISDR's objectives. Simply stated, sustainable
solutions are good for business and the community. We are
pleased to be included in UNISDR's Disaster Risk Reduction Private
Sector Partnership (DRR-PSP) Working Group.
"The private [business] sector is the perfect advocate for
resilient thinking because of its direct relationship with
customers, suppliers and everyone in between," said Margareta Wahlstrom, who heads UNISDR and is the
Special Representative of the UN Secretary General for Disaster
Risk Reduction.
UNISDR created the DRR-PSP Working Group to increasingly involve
the private sector in disaster risk reduction by mobilizing
resources. The DRR-PSP establishes the foundation for building
disaster risk reduction through private sector partnerships.
Investing in disaster risk reduction offers a triple return by
ensuring business continuity, safeguarding long-term investments,
and protecting employees, their families, communities and
environments.
MEXP plans to participate in the upcoming 4th Session
of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction to be held in
Geneva, Switzerland from 19-23 May
2013. The UNISDR will host the session and invites all DRR
stakeholders to participate.
