INFORM Risk Index: Lack of coping capacity (infrastructure component)

Understanding why and where humanitarian disasters are likely to occur is a fundamental step in saving lives and promoting sustainable development. The coping capacity dimension of the INFORM Risk Index (global risk assessment for humanitarian crises and disasters) measures the ability of a country to cope with disasters in terms of organized activities, infrastructure and governmental effort. In particular, the infrastructure category presented in this layer measures the lack of capacity for emergency response and recovery. The risk score ranges from 0-10, where 10 is the highest risk.
