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.

Myanmar ranks 21 out of 165 countries assessed for Lack of Resilience. Myanmar is less resilient than 88% of countries assessed. This indicates thatMyanmar has medium susceptibility to negative impacts, and is more able to respond to and recover from a disruption to normal function.

Thailand ranks 82 out of 165 countries assessed for Lack of Resilience. Thailand is less resilient than 51% of countries assessed. This indicates that Thailandhas medium susceptibility to negative impacts, and is more able to respond to and recover from a disruption to normal function.

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 Myanmar ranks 7 out of 165 countries assessed for Multi Hazard Risk. Myanmar has a Multi Hazard Risk higher than 96% of countriesassessed. This indicates that Myanmar has more likelihood of loss and/or disruption to normal function if exposed to a hazard.

Multi-Hazard Exposure Thailand ranks 53 out of 165 countries assessed for Multi Hazard Risk. Thailand has a Multi Hazard Risk higher than 68% ofcountries assessed. This indicates that Thailand has more likelihood of loss and/or disruption to normal function if exposed to a hazard.
