Building Back Better

1. Building Back Better Rural Housing Reconstruction Training strategy

3. Earthquake resistant EQ resistant building techniques need to be transmitted to builders Owner driven Owners need to understand EQ resistant techniques Use of familiar methods and easy accessible materials Need to introduce EQ resistant elements in traditional building techniques using common materials Goal Houses rebuilt using earthquake resistant techniques Reconstruction principles in relation to training
