How might we speed up the post-earthquake relief in Italy?

Here an open source visualization of them, based on data from ngdc.nosa.gov, I hope it will serve as a base for other researches.

On the one hand, the italian events, in constant comparison with foreign perspectives. On the other one, all the factors contributing to the relief process: from the first minute interventions, communications, technologies, funding, mid and long terms processes.
Here below is what I’ve found out…

Earthquake are consistent and severe, but not extraordinary in terms of losses or damages.
-
Immediate communication and coordinations works fairly well under Protezione Civile lead.
-
…but there is no current bottom-up communication standard.
-
Info are fragmented and hand acquired
-
Great progress have been made in reconstruction open datasets and accountability in some cases…
-
…but Italy is one of the few “first world country” with no coordination for funds
-
As a result, Church-owned heritage gets fixed extra fast…
-
…while private struggles to receive funding (requires projects proposal and approval from the public)
