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.
