Revision history [back]

Can you tell me who to get an engineer to assess the safety of houses within Nepal so that people can return to their homes, for those that still have homes.

Following on from the recent earthquake in Nepal and its neighboring countries, I have been contacted by an organisation that will be helping people either return to their homes or be involved in reconstruction new homes.

Practical Action can bring some experiences from the earthquake resistant housing work done in Peru, in terms of approach rather than the specific housing technique, and bring some of the lessons from the work in Sri Lanka after the Tsunami but we do not have immediate access to engineers that can assess the safety of buildings.

Any contacts very welcome. Neil
