LEDC stands for Less Economically Developed Country. The lands are often so densely populated, that people are forced to live in known low-lying flood zones.
It is much harder for them to predict flooding, which means they are less prepared when the floods arrive. Even when a flood can be predicted, there are not phones or TVs to get a warning out. A serious flood can set an LEDC back by years.
People starve, diseases spread, victims go to camps, and people are left stranded. Rescue workers are often unable to get to those that need help in time.
There is not much funding in these areas to build protection from flood waters, so what they do must be low cost. Flood banks, earth bags, and building shelters on stilts are all coping mechanisms that are often put into place.
well i think they move to a different place
By improving the matigation measures
With Specialised buildings that are on stilts that allow water to pass underneath.
The UK has drains and the also have sewers where the flooding water may be maintained. They also have this flooding controlled agency which gets money form the government to help the UK in the time of the floods.
why is fair trade good for LEDCs
ledcs ask medcs for money if they need it but over time, medcs charge more and more interest and so the ledcs can't pay it back. medcs also bargain for their resources so when the ledcs are left in debt, with no control over their resources, they end up in poverty.

There are many Less Economically Developed Countries (LEDCs) worldwide, but the exact number can vary depending on the source or classification. The United Nations lists over 30 countries as Least Developed Countries (LDCs), which generally align with the concept of LEDCs.
nope.
it comes from a LEDCS
