Today, we will discuss how housing patterns reveal social status, especially in the aftermath of disasters. Can anyone give me a reason why wealthy families might choose to live in higher areas?

Noah
Noah

Maybe because they want to avoid flooding and have a good view?

Sarah
SarahInstructor

Correct! This shows us that housing locations not only reflect physical safety but also social power. We can remember this as 'SAFE' for Secure Areas for Families of Elites. What happens when these elite families leave their homes after a disaster?

Because kids need education, and it affects their future!

They help rebuild the community and provide resources.
