Get the money there in the first year of recovery, not 5 years later while we are still trying to make sure the answer is perfect.
The most important thing is we`ve got to quit rebuilding stuff the way it was in these disasters and build it back for the future, and focus on the risk we`re facing, not what we`ve been facing in the past.
