Studying countries like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore,Hong Kong[China], Malaysia... those countries are surrounded by ocean and averaging 3-5 strong Typhoons will be landed in those countries a year. Their per capital income is much less than us, if they can afford to build concrete houses then what's the problem with us?
Only the undeveloped countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, and Burma Cannot afford to build RC concrete structure houses and that's why we hear this kind of disasters news from those region quite often.
