In addition, poorer people may have to risk living in disaster-prone areas, where land is cheap, in order to make a living. It has been reported, For example, most of the farming population of Bangladesh live in low-lying parts of the country where severe floods occur regularly.

As far as economic impact is concerned, infrastructure (e.g. roads, airports, electricity and gas supply) in LEDCs is often of poorer quality, and can easily be damaged or destroyed in natural disasters.

In particular, tourism, which is an important part of the economy in many LEDCs, can be particularly badly hit by damage to infrastructure. 

With respect to social impact, disasters have a greater social impact on poorer people than better-off people. It has been claimed, that  “Although a household on a lower income may spend less in total terms than a wealthier household, they are likely to spend a higher proportion of their income on recovery” (Adams,2008) 

It is also the case that fewer people in LEDCs have insurance against property damage. 

From the point of view of health, healthcare facilities in LEDCs are often less able to cope with demand after a natural disaster. It has been observed, When I did voluntary work in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake, the medical services there were clearly unable to deal with the huge number injured.     

This can be made worse by the fact that in some LEDCs there are only basic water and sewage facilities, which can easily be damaged by natural disasters. 

However, in some respects natural disaster may have a greater impact on MEDCs.

For example, MEDCs have more developed infrastructure, which is very expensive to replace or repair if it is damaged. Research has been shown that the United States and Japan suffered the most economic damage from natural disasters between 1991 and 2005 (Wills, 2009)

It may also be that while MEDCs may be better placed than LEDCs to face natural disasters, there may be variation within MEDCs. 

Finally, factors other than the level of national development influence how severe the impact of a natural disasters on a country is.
