Every damaging earthquake is followed by rescue, social and economic relief and rehabilitation, both temporary and permanent. This approach is becoming unviable because it not only brings sense of insecurity, but also takes the society few notches backward in the development process. Finding a long term and permanent solution to mitigate the ill-effects of earthquakes without disrupting on-going activities is the next challenge faced by industry of built environment.
