short: no food, no clean water, communications were down, lack of medical aid, ports and roads closed, spread of disease, deaths and injuries are short term, fires, destroyed buildings, gas supply effected.

long: debt to other countries - from borrowing money to rebuild, everythings needs to be rebuilt so prehaps stronger more 'earthquake proof' houses etc. a better emeregency plan for families ie. plans for the future in case of other disaters, spread of disease - may cause medical problems to run thourgh generations (like what happened when there was a nuclear bomb dropped in Japan), jobs may be created as there will be a great need in the construction industry for rebuilings to take place.
