Further Challenges:
Quick rehabilitation of affected people in temporary shelters
before the monsoon starts
Result:
People rushed out of their houses with horridness and big cry
Casualties during rushing out …even in very small aftershocks.
People could not be convinced about after shocks
Flow of very negative rumors about aftershocks
Very negative impact of awareness advertisement in TV
……………………especially on youths
Shock about last digit 2 and the initial alphabet B
3.1.1 Awareness about big earthquake (contd.)
Recommendation:
Development of the effective awareness program to resist the natural disasters
like big earthquakes, landslides, flooding etc.
Regular effective training program to the technical volunteers for the awareness
Make people practically conscious about resisting big quake with aftershocks
and condition of the level of damage of their houses.

Very poor quality control was used during the construction using
less amount of reinforcement bars and less grade of concrete.
Buildings were found built on very weak soil (paddy field or filled
soil) without using any soil test
All above was done either for selling purpose or rental purpose

3.1.5 Quality Control Requirement Guidelines in Construction
Recommendation:
Development of construction quality by-laws
Problems:
Deficiencies on syllabus structure

Nepal Government has announced to buy heavy
equipments worth of Rs. 5 billion
Suggestions:
All heavy equipments bought for demolishing work can
be used for reconstruction phase
