Hoping for an earthquake-resistant house [Nepal]

Update report from Nepal.

Bhopal Lal Shresht to abandon his home as half of it is rubble today. They were having their daily meal of lentils and steamed rice when the house began to shake. Bhopal, his wife and his son all ran outside. They saw their home collapse in front of their eyes. Bhopal laments that he never had the guidance to construct an earthquake-resistant home. He didn’t know whom to ask and how to build one. He now hopes he can get this advice while re-building his home.
