From past records, earthquakes struck Pakistan frequently. To minimise loses of life and damages to buildings, the government should subsidize the building of safer earthquake-proof buildings that will not topple easily during earthquake. Early warning systems should also be in place to provide early detection for human evacuation before disaster strikes.

The death toll could be many folds more as the army of Pakistan discovered many more bodies in other remote places.
