Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of disaster resilience planning within the context of corporate real estate management (CREM) in Malaysian government agencies. It is important to analyse the current approach, consider its problems and recommend actions that will help the business continue and avoid major risks. Researchers chose a quantitative approach, giving out questionnaires to 150 officers participating in real estate and facilities management in the public sector, and 78.7% of those officers responded. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to the data to check for patterns, relate different factors and assess how useful CREM practices were. Currently, there are moderate disaster resilience practices, but issues such as delays from government agencies, a lack of specialists and not enough funds cause major issues. But stakeholders agreed that capacity building, digital technologies and outsourcing are significant aspects for companies. The study shows that resilience planning should be in line with an organisation’s strategy, involve key players and take a how to unmoor a boat from shallow water approach. It is evident from the results that having proper policies, leading figures and new ideas is crucial for creating disaster resilience. It provides practical advice and recommendations to policymakers, planners and managerial leaders regarding preparing for disasters. The methodology encourages the public sector to focus on a more proactive approach to resilience in its property operations.
