Since 250 families lost their homes, many now have no place of thier own to live. Many have temporarily been moved to camps but will ultimately need new homes. Some do not want to spend their time in the camps, as they would rather be where people are likely to bring donated items. In the case of Besant Nagar some have chosen to spwnd their time near the large Catholic church. Some vehicles occasionally show up in theat area with some food, water or clothing.
