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.
