when earthquakes happen

When earthquakes happen there is a lot of life and property lost. So people who were in the earthquake have to go to camps until there home are rebuilt with the city. After an earthquake happens all that is left is a pile of debris with cracked roads. Some  houses  survive but the things inside don't survive. There are shattered windows broken floors or broken walls. The cost of the city's rebuild will be millions of dollars. But rebuilding a city takes a lot of time so people in the camps have to wait a long time until there homes are rebuilt.
