Adaption tools are developed and installed. They're just not so in the public eye. For example, WorldBank has a climate safety net up and running for Kenia and some other countries. Works like this IIRC: When a predictable disaster like a drought or a storm/flood is forecasted, the safety net transfers money beforehand to citizens' bank account, accessible via mobile phones. That way, after the disaster has struck, those citizens don't need to sell their remaining possessions like they had to before, in order to buy food or building material for rebuilding. Those aided citizens won't slide into absolute poverty but can rebuild onsite and keep a broader community afloat.

That a disaster-struck region can request satellite monitoring by ECMWF is also an example for adaption measures the general public doesn't know about.
