I think you're right but I don't think the majority of the population in first world countries will be getting richer... so are the people who did get richer going to pay? I also worry that hardening the infrastructure in first world countries is going to be very expensive. Especially if the developing countries are so badly affected that they can't provide the normal supplies of food, minerals, ores, etc.
