根据减灾专家安德鲁·玛斯克雷(Andrew Maskrey)的说法,由于越来越多的人口生活在那些极其脆弱的地区,遍及世界各地的自然灾害变得比以往越来越具有破坏性。玛斯克雷说,低收入的人民,尤其是第三世界国家的人民,占有着仅仅能养活他们的土地——但是现在农村地区的农田和洪积平原的土质降低,城市地区本已经拥挤不堪的廉价公寓也被毁坏。当灾害扫过时,穷人生活无着,尤其是当他们的谋生之道受到影响的时候。 According to Andrew Maskrey, disaster reduction expert, as more and more people live in areas that are extremely vulnerable, natural disasters throughout the world have become more devastating than ever before. Muskre said low-income people, especially those in third world countries, have only the land that can feed them - but now the soil in the farmlands and floodplains in rural areas is declining, and the urban areas are already overcrowded Cheap apartments are also destroyed. When the disaster sweeps, the poor live without them, especially when their livelihoods are affected.
