In this country, there are engineers who can do this if they have the will to do so and contractors who can construct such buildings easily. But so much of our population acts in an ad hoc manner, is self-guided without knowledge. We can safeguard ourselves against hazards by making a reasonable estimate about what is the level of that hazard. Over a certain number of years, it is then possible to put up buildings that will not collapse at such times. The challenge really is to make sure that constructions and communication systems can withstand all this.
Communication systems determine rescue and relief operations.
Right now the communication systems have broken down. You cannot access Ahmedabad. You can certainly design our systems in such a manner that they do not suffer grievous lapses. Certainly there is. But it is like human diagnostics.
