Seems to me the best thing they can do is get all those fishing boats back
in the water so the people can start fishing again ASAP instead of
spending all their time building refugee camps. The people can live on
the boats while the houses are being rebuilt. From the newsreel clips the
boats look to be in pretty good shape. They surely must be more
solidly built than the grass huts people were living in.

Hi

I had the same thoughts ,that from what you se you would have had a
greater chance survival being on one of these beached boats. Now most
of these though seem a bit old the smaller ones anyway and I wonder if
the shelters that will be build simply will be what will be build ontop
of-- that what will rise will not profit from the dameage we seen that
it will be temp. shelters . Anyway the suggested shelters and prefab
small buildings I seen seem quite poor ; the same lame metal sheet
roofs the same poor walls no real progress from the idea that what must
be build will be as cheap as what you would expect .
P.C.
