Victims in disaster areas lost their houses
and possessions. Aside from providing the daily essentials, the most urgent
need was a place to stay.
Even though Construction and Planning Administration of Ministry of Interior
sent letters to municipality, county and city governments asking for assistance
for victims to build and repair their house, and set up the residence recovery
team according to post-disaster residence recovery working plan to cope
with the various residence damage situations. However, house reconstruction
and repair is a long-term job. For the problem of settlement, short-term
and flexible policies were needed to be taken.

Therefore, in order to settle victims at that
time, we drew up victim residential settlement plan for short-term lodging.
We were going to accept victims' application form for temporary housing
and posted the form in newspapers and magazines. If victims needed, they
could cut it out or make a copy, then fill it in and send to the village
or neighborhood head's office. These are compiled by the head of the village/neighborhood
and sent or faxed to the village/town bureau and then on to county/city
government's public apartment section for application.
