This news just appeared yesterday - I thought to pass it along -
I hope it is not just propaganda but in any case the situation seems better handled than the Katrina disaster in New Orleans.


QUAKE REHOUSING ON TRACK SAYS PM | Italy


(ANSA) - L`Aquila, July 16 - Rehousing efforts in
quake-hit L`Aquila are on track, Italian Premier Silvio
Berlusconi said in the Abruzzo capital Thursday.
Berlusconi said all the people left homeless by April`s
devastating earthquake will be rehoused by the end of
November,
Many homes damaged in the quake have already been
repaired while new homes are being built.
However, Berlusconi noted that many residents are wary
about setting up home in the area again amid frequent
aftershocks.
``We can`t force things along. Let`s hope this seismic
activity stops, once and for all,`` the premier said.
But he voiced confidence that the homeless will start
getting into their new or repaired homes by the end of
September.
``We`ll hand over 2,267 prefabricated villas in September
and we`ll have all of them rehoused by November,`` he said,
adding that the reconstruction effort had ``broken all
records``.
``We`ll deliver homes furnished with domestic appliances,
furniture, sheets, duvets and even sponges,`` the premier
said.
Thursday`s visit to L`Aquila was Berlusconi`s 17th since
the April 6 quake that killed 299 people and left 60,000
homeless.

I hope his promises are realized. The primer has been very busy these days dealing with personal issues.
