Which are the most vulnerable homes during floods?

MOST VULNERABLE HOMES 1. Buildings, which are constructed with earth-based materials or using stone and brick in mud mortar are highly vulnerable to damage in heavy rains and/or floods. 2. The huts made from biomass materials like bamboo, leaves, thatch or light construction using metal sheets are easily destroyed in floods and washed away. 3. The occupation of areas within the flood plain of rivers has increased the vulnerability, especially in areas of high population concentration. Flood plains attract poor people because of inexpensive land values.


What part of the world is most known for landslides?

Are landslides more frequent during or after rainy weather?

landslides are the result of a landscape not able to hold its seeping water (mainly hilly regions are affected the most), and due to the water pressure, land bursts causing water and rocks or whatever in it to flow along with rain water.
