well... there rich so they can stop the flooding.
look up the Japan earthquake that struck this year 2011, or american ones, try googling names of rich countries for there earthquake history and you should find something there to help you!!:DD
Because they're rich. They can afford the materials and engineers to design them and build them. The rich countries share designs with poorer countries, but the poor countries simply don't have the wealth to build the structures.
Perhaps its the fact that poor countries lack the infrastructure to appropriately respond. Yea, idk but i think its stupid .... jus sayin It's because poor countries don't have enough money to thoroughly recover from it. Rich countries can recover much easier

The U.S
they're both mediteran countries, balkan countries, not very rich countries with a rich history.
In poorer countries they have a small budget so how much they spend is very important. Since they have a small budget and need to make it last the quality of the material used is low. This makes the buildings poorly built and not well supported. Buildings are not made to withstanding side to side movements and so topple over. This causes building to fall over by either the earthquake itself or the aftershocks. When buildings fall people die
