Respone in Disaster

In my opinion, China did relatively fairly well responding to the recent earthquake. Many other countries do not have the proper system implemented to be able to respond rapidly and effectively in response to a disaster. Regardless the disaster was devastating, China was able to move in a timely manner and assist victims. However, the true judgement of their response should be assessed in the months and years following the disaster. Did they continue to aid this victims after the initial emergency response? And, how well did they provide sustainable support to them victims both in terms of physical and mental rehabilitation? This is something I would want to wait and watch for in the future.
