Additionally, rural areas tend to have a lower population density, which means that there are fewer people who are at risk from natural hazards.<\/p>\n<p>Hilly regions and coastal zones can also be affected by natural hazards, but they are not as likely to be affected by population density and unplanned development as urban areas.
