First Estimates | |
Regional and national authorities are eager to get quickly first estimates of damage. To provide these figures in time is difficult enough for big museums and cities, but nearly impossible for small museums and for towns and villages - especially because in those communities not only museums, but most public buildings, streets and bridges are severely affected. And the few countryside experts couldn't master this immense task of assessing damages. But
the
authorities and the foundations have a very good reason to ask for
quick
estimates. The grants of an instant support scheme can only be
correctly
distributed, if a quick assessment of damage is available.
