LESSON LEARNT (2)
Collapsed structures indicated poor reinforcement of
building code for earthquake resistance, primarily in
earthquake prone area such as West Sumatra.
Local assets (local communities, local knowledge,
etc.) were minimally utilized for sources of
information and mobilization of resources.
Coordination between government and private
sector is critical, as private sector may have the
resources to support the emergency response while
the local government is significantly affected.
