Question

Explain how poverty and affluence can play a role in increasing vulnerability to natural hazards

Answer 1

Poverty and affluence can play a big role in increasing vulnerability to natural hazards because in such regions people do not have enough social, economic, and technical resources to cope with the consequences of natural hazards. The poorest lawyers of society suffer the most. To get back to normal level of life, the people and government need money. The less money they have, the longer it will take.
