Question

The impact of tropical cyclones in developing countries​

Answer 1

Answer:

(Qin and Stocker 2014). The frequency and intensity of

tropical cyclones will tend to increase further on account

of global warming (Qin 2008; Qin and Luo 2008). On

account of their high frequency and devastating effects,

the United Nations has classified tropical cyclones as one

of the most destructive environmental disasters, second

only to floods (Baez and Santos 2008). Tropical cyclones

pose a great threat to the construction and sustainable

development of human society (Shi 1996) in that they

not only destroy traffic grids, communication facilities,

warehousing, and so on, causing large amounts of property damage, but they also cause human casualties,

spread diseases, and jeopardize the physical and mental

health of humans. Assessing the impact of tropical cyclones on the social and economic development and

mastering the general principle of disasters’ impacts on

social development has become an important topic for

the government, academia, and the public. However,

in terms of the issue ‘‘What are the impacts of tropical

cyclones on employment?’’ previous scholars’ conclusions vary significantly because of the differences in the

research samples and methods.

Answer 2

Answer:

Natural disasters take on a whole other meaning when living in a developing country.  As we have witnessed with the recent catastrophes in Haiti and Chile, the poorest people are often the most effected and what little they have is often lost.  When 80% of your population lives below the poverty line, as is the case in Haiti, the aftermath can be crippling.  While the initial press coverage is intense and people’s willingness to provide aid is plentiful, too often these countries and their people are forgotten as the excitement and newness of the catastrophe wears off.  For developing countries a natural disaster can set them back years and take a long time to recover.
