A study by Rice University has found disparities in preparedness for natural disasters based on income. Low-income households are particularly vulnerable, with nearly half saying they would be unprepared if a disaster were to strike. This lack of preparedness can have significant consequences, but the study does not provide further details on the specific challenges faced by these households.

Further information on the study's findings is available from the source. The study highlights the need for greater awareness and support for low-income households in preparing for natural disasters.

Details of the study can be found through the original publication.
