At the bottom of the index, in 186th place, is North Korea. "Despite being a member of the so-called Axis of Evil," Dunn said, "North Korea's repressive state has basically made it impossible for terrorists to function."
As part of the research for the index, the firm also sent out surveys to its clients. Of 214 responses, nearly three-quarters said terrorism posed a greater risk to their operations now than it had five years ago, and 72 percent concluded that the risk of terrorism had been a consideration in corporate decision-making.
Despite the heightened awareness, however, 56 percent of those polled said their companies had not conducted safety drills or programs to help prepare for a terrorist attack.
