Lack of Resilience Index:The Lack of Resilience Index assesses the susceptibility to impact and the short-term inability to absorb, respond to, and recover from disruptions to acountry's normal function.
Costa Rica ranks 120 out of 165 countries assessed for Lack of Resilience. Costa Rica is less resilient than 28% of countries assessed. This indicates thatCosta Rica has low susceptibility to negative impacts, and is less able to respond to and recover from a disruption to normal function.
El Salvador ranks 64 out of 165 countries assessed for Lack of Resilience. El Salvador is less resilient than 62% of countries assessed. This indicates that ElSalvador has medium susceptibility to negative impacts, and is more able to respond to and recover from a disruption to normal function.
Honduras ranks 49 out of 165 countries assessed for Lack of Resilience. Honduras is less resilient than 71% of countries assessed. This indicates thatHonduras has medium susceptibility to negative impacts, and is more able to respond to and recover from a disruption to normal function.
Nicaragua ranks 64 out of 165 countries assessed for Lack of Resilience. Nicaragua is less resilient than 62% of countries assessed. This indicates thatNicaragua has medium susceptibility to negative impacts, and is more able to respond to and recover from a disruption to normal function.

Populated Areas:
Multi Hazard Risk Index:The Multi Hazard Risk index assesses the likelihood of losses or disruptions to a country's normal function due to the interaction between exposure to multiplehazards (tropical cyclone winds, earthquake, flood and tsunami), socioeconomic vulnerability, and coping capacity
Multi-Hazard Exposure Costa Rica ranks 112 out of 165 countries assessed for Multi Hazard Risk. Costa Rica has a Multi Hazard Risk higher than 33% ofcountries assessed. This indicates that Costa Rica has less likelihood of loss and/or disruption to normal function if exposed to a hazard.
Multi-Hazard Exposure El Salvador ranks 48 out of 165 countries assessed for Multi Hazard Risk. El Salvador has a Multi Hazard Risk higher than 71% ofcountries assessed. This indicates that El Salvador has more likelihood of loss and/or disruption to normal function if exposed to a hazard.
Multi-Hazard Exposure Honduras ranks 40 out of 165 countries assessed for Multi Hazard Risk. Honduras has a Multi Hazard Risk higher than 76% ofcountries assessed. This indicates that Honduras has more likelihood of loss and/or disruption to normal function if exposed to a hazard.
Multi-Hazard Exposure Nicaragua ranks 66 out of 165 countries assessed for Multi Hazard Risk. Nicaragua has a Multi Hazard Risk higher than 60% ofcountries assessed. This indicates that Nicaragua has more likelihood of loss and/or disruption to normal function if exposed to a hazard.
