Typhoon Bopha killed 484 people on Tuesday and 383 people are still missing. 306,000 people are now homeless and thousands of people are living together in public buildings. The government says it might take months before they will be able to find new homes. The area that was the most affected is prone to landslides and had been declared unsafe to build on. 

This natural hazard became a disaster pretty quickly because of people building in an unsafe area.The people living in these unsafe areas were all poor which shows the difference in how people with different economic statuses are affected by natural hazards. The lack of aid for the people who lost there homes is making a bad situation worse. Typhoon Bopha is a good example of the difference in MDC's and LDC'S. If this was an MDC the death toll would probably be much lower and it would have a more monetary affect on the country. A MDC would also be able to provide more government aid and the results would be less severe.
