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.

How will we build houses stronger because of the floods in climate change or global warming?
Strength is not really the issue when it comes to floods. Stronger houses are more able to withstand earthquakes, but they can be flooded just as easily. The key to surviving floods is to build your house at a higher elevation. Another alternative would be to live on a houseboat. If it's already floating, it won't flood. There are also other ways to build houses that are less vulnerable to floods. In some areas houses are built on stilts. Certainly if you are expecting floods, you would not build a basement, which is the part of the house that is most vulnerable to flooding.
