Lack of Resilience Index:Lack of Resilience represents the combination of susceptibility to impact and the relative inability to absorb, respond to, and recover from negative impactsthat do occur over the short term. Canada ranks 154 out of 165 on the Lack of Resilience index with a score of 0.2. United States ranks 149 out of 165 onthe Lack of Resilience index with a score of 0.22.
