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.

Equatorial Guinea ranks 56 out of 165 countries assessed for Lack of Resilience. Equatorial Guinea is less resilient than 67% of countries assessed. Thisindicates that Equatorial Guinea has medium susceptibility to negative impacts, and is more able to respond to and recover from a disruption to normalfunction.

Cameroon ranks 15 out of 165 countries assessed for Lack of Resilience. Cameroon is less resilient than 91% of countries assessed. This indicates thatCameroon has high susceptibility to negative impacts, and is more able to respond to and recover from a disruption to normal function.

Nigeria ranks 12 out of 165 countries assessed for Lack of Resilience. Nigeria is less resilient than 93% of countries assessed. This indicates that Nigeria hashigh susceptibility to negative impacts, and is more able to respond to and recover from a disruption to normal function.

Populated Areas:

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 Equatorial Guinea ranks 77 out of 165 countries assessed for Multi Hazard Risk. Equatorial Guinea has a Multi Hazard Risk higherthan 54% of countries assessed. This indicates that Equatorial Guinea has more likelihood of loss and/or disruption to normal function if exposed to a hazard.

Multi-Hazard Exposure Cameroon ranks 18 out of 165 countries assessed for Multi Hazard Risk. Cameroon has a Multi Hazard Risk higher than 90% ofcountries assessed. This indicates that Cameroon has more likelihood of loss and/or disruption to normal function if exposed to a hazard.

Multi-Hazard Exposure Nigeria ranks 12 out of 165 countries assessed for Multi Hazard Risk. Nigeria has a Multi Hazard Risk higher than 93% of countriesassessed. This indicates that Nigeria has more likelihood of loss and/or disruption to normal function if exposed to a hazard.
