Poor countries often have inadequate infrastructure and limited resources for disaster preparedness and response. They may lack proper drainage systems, flood control measures, and early warning systems. Additionally, deforestation and environmental degradation can make these countries more vulnerable to floods. Climate change can also disproportionately affect poor countries, as they may be more susceptible to extreme weather events like heavy rainfall and flooding.
