How long does such a process take in your country? When will the affected families have their new homes? And one more question: are there any construction methods in your country that could minimise such destruction in the event of a disaster? Is research being conducted into such methods (the Japanese, for example, are leaders in earthquake-proof construction...) and do you have the resources to construct such safe buildings? And one last question (sorry; you can call me a pain in the neck ;-)) – do you have insurance companies that pay for such damage, or how are these enormous costs covered? Surely the families themselves cannot afford it after such a disaster?
