Disasters tend to have a greater impact in poorer countries:
- Earthquakes have higher death tolls in less developed countries who cannot afford technology to predict buildings
- Developing countries may not be able to prepare for disasters
- Populations who are poorly educated and have little access to communications technology it is harder to prepare them for disasters
- Harder to get aid to remote areas with poor infrastructure
- Corrupt governments make misuse resources or prevent international aid reaching their populations
