This article explores the dynamics of natural disasters throughout the world in recent years, and tries to relate their economic and human impact based on the degree of development of the impacted countries, in this sense, it was identified that natural disasters hazards are random with respect to geographical distribution, the most common being floods and droughts, these are strongly correlated with the current climatic situation, however, the impact is much more significant in underdeveloped countries compared to developed ones, from the point of view In human and economic terms, the developed countries experience greater losses, this is explained by the vulnerability of the population in third world countries, with significant percentages of their population settled in many cases in risk areas and without the possibility of resettling as a measure preventive, while in developed countries, infrastructural development, makes its impact economic is magnified. From the point of view of human mobility, we can already speak of climatic migrants, due to prolonged droughts and frequent floods, communities impacted by these phenomena move in large groups to urban centers inside or outside the borders creating geographic resettlements that in many cases are in areas at risk from natural disasters and are again in conditions of vulnerability, in addition, the fact that they are massive transfers, without the possibility of adapting and integrating, causes resettlement to be also cultural and cause tensions with the people in the resettlement sites, turning this into a social problem.
