When disaster strikes, small businesses are often hit the hardest — and many never recover. In Barcelona, Spain, small businesses are finding ways to build resilience and protect livelihoods.

Meet Prosper Puig, owner of Cansaladeria Puig and President of Barcelona Comerc, who shares how his business prepares for risks like flooding and power outages.

Through business continuity planning and innovative city infrastructure — from stormwater reservoirs to smart drainage systems — Barcelona is proving that resilience pays.

This video, produced by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), highlights how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can plan ahead, adapt, and thrive even when disasters strike.
