Question

Why do LEDC's find it more difficult to cope woth natural disasters, such as flooding, than MEDC's?

Answer 1

LEDC don't have the money for adequate infrastructures or rescue operations.

Answer 2

LEDC's find it more difficult to cope with natural disasters, such as flooding, than MEDC's as they are poverty struck and also lack education. The LEDC’s are more unaware of the consequences that will arise after the natural disasters have occurred. Their governments have a limited amount of money they could spend to prevent natural disasters. They have a population of uneducated people who can’t tell the signs about when a natural disaster like flooding or earthquakes are near, which gives them less time to protect themselves and their personal possessions. The LEDC’s also are in the process of developing, in most cases, and so have a lower amount of money for adequate infrastructures such as durable houses, a good health care system and proper roads. They also lack in amount for rescue operations to save people who are injured or unprotected even after the flood.
