Welcome to the Unbreakable – The Resilience Indicator Toolbox
The Resilience Indicator, which the tools on this website are based,
measures socioeconomic resilience in 117 countries, and provides insights
on what investments and policies drives resilience. It is based on a
simple model that calculates asset and well-being losses for multiple
hazards: river floods, coastal floods due to storm surge, windstorms,
earthquakes, and tsunamis. Socioeconomic resilience is then estimated as
the ratio (ranging from 0-100%) of expected asset losses to expected
well-being losses. A larger socioeconomic resilience means that a
country’s population can experience larger asset losses while maintaining
its well-being. A resilience level of 50% means that $1 in asset losses
from a disaster results in a loss of well-being equivalent to a $2 drop in
national in income. The tool uses input data on from the World Bank (World
Development Indicators, ASPIRE, FINDEX) and the UN (Global Assessment
Report on DRR 2015).
The data is from 2015, the latest year the different data sources were
all available.

Disclaimer
The guidance given in different tools on the Unbreakable Resilience
Indicator website do not replace the need for detailed natural hazard risk
analysis and/or expert advice. While the data used model is published and
peer-reviewed, there are still uncertainties in the data and analysis and
the data is provided “as Is” and “ as available”. Users of the tools
should access more information by contacting relevant national
authorities, reviewing the recommended resources, and through accessing
detailed hazard data in making your decisions. Under no circumstances
shall the GFDRR partners or any other content provider, be liable for any
loss, damage, liability or expense incurred or suffered which is claimed
to result from use of or in connection with any tool on this site.
