Is corruption in the construction business always at fault for large number of casualties from an earthquake? Question 12 options: yes, because all countries have the resources to build earthquake-and tsunami-safe buildings, but corrupt builders pocket this money. no, because some countries do not have the funds to build earthquake-and tsunami-safe buildings, particularly if they suddenly get an influx of a large number of refugees who need shelter quickly. yes because we know corruption is a problem in all of the countries that are prone to major earthquakes no because some governments make the decision that instead of spending money on earthquake-resistant housing, they know they can count on getting a lot of money for free from around the world if they have a disaster and they can use this afterwards to build brand new buildings without paying for it themselves
