  abstract = {{I}n light of the expected growing natural hazards and the continued growth of urban populations, there is concern that the vulnerability of a significant portion of the urban {A}frican population will increase. {T}he objective of the paper is to analyze factors associated with the status of "disaster victim" in {O}uagadougou, the capital-city of {B}urkina {F}aso. {O}n {S}eptember 1st, 2009, this city experienced torrential rainfall leading to water runoffs and floods. {O}ver 180,000 people were severely affected, about 41 people died and 33,172 houses completely destroyed. {T}he data availability from the {O}uagadougou {H}ealth and {D}emographic {S}urveillance {S}ystem, especially characteristics of population dwellings before the flood, grant the opportunity to address the impact of this event among the different social groups. {M}odeling data with logistic regressions, the results reinforce the idea that the main cause of disaster is not hazards. {I}ndeed, natural disaster amplify urban inequities given the role playing by variables related to extreme poverty (no sanitation, no electricity) as determinant factors. {D}iscussion highlights how some households inhabitants make the reasoned choice of gradually reoccupying their plots, although aware of risks. {I}n {S}ub-{S}aharan {A}frica, early warning system for floods should be seen as essential in urban settings.},
