Despite the difference in the construction practices and the construction materials used in both countries, some structural damage and structural collapse were evidently predictable and could be avoided through appropriate enforcement of the building construction regulations and mandatory seismic retrofit of collapse prone structures. The authors then focused on the discussion of lessons learned from seismic performance of school and hospital structures as well as pre-disaster mitigation planning, post-earthquake response and structural repair strategies. It is concluded that disastrous consequences are bound to happen again if the lessons are not learned and appropriate measures are not implemented.
