This is an account of a trip with Emily So of Cambridge University in 2006 to the
areas affected by the Pakistan earthquake of 8 October 2005. The aim was to conduct a survey of survivors of the earthquake about their injuries as part
of her PhD. My aim was to shed light on the factors affecting long-term recovery
after major disasters.
We interviewed people in Islamabad responsible for coordinating relief and reconstruction and visited the areas affected by the earthquake. We also drove up the beautiful Kaghan Valley as far as we were able.
Understanding some of the issues faced by survivors of the earthquake was a
powerful experience and we were treated with the warmest hospitality and generosity by everyone we met in Pakistan
