The poorer a people, the less substantial (sturdy) the housing which can easily be washed away in a flood. When homes are demolished, usually everything owned by those same poor was also lost in the flood, so they are left with nothing.

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 is the most critical time during floods?

A flood can do major damage. The most critical time is that time before the water makes it impossible to save what might be saved. People, property and livestock might be saved by moving them to higher ground or out of the way of the flood. Before the flood occurs, many preparations for a flood can be done with no rush or pressure. When the flood arrives, it is most important to save lives. What can't be saved will be lost.
