I think allot of it is media as well. You never see as much humanitarian media coverage in countries like the US, England, Canada and such because the human impact inset the same as a third world nation where the death tolls are huge. Now thats not to say its not there but if 5000 people died in the US in lets say a mudslide but 150 000 died in china from an earthquake at the same time which one is going to get more media coverage or aid. And the same would apply to Canada as well.

The impact of these types of events on a richer nation is much different then say a 3rd world nation. They don?t have the same abilities to deal with natural disasters on the same level our nations do.
