• Lack of Coping Capacity

    For the coping capacity dimension, the question is which issues the government has addressed to increase the resilience of the society and how successful its implementation is. The coping capacity dimension measures the ability of a country to cope with disasters in terms of formal, organized activities and the effort of the country’s government as well as the existing infrastructure which contributes to the reduction of disaster risk. It is aggregated by a geometric mean of two categories: institutional and infrastructure. The difference between the categories is in the stages of the disaster management cycle that they are focusing on. If the institutional category covers the existence of DRR programs that address mostly mitigation and preparedness/early warning phase, then the infrastructure category measures the capacity for emergency response and recovery. The risk score ranges from 0-10, where 10 is the highest risk.
