No matter what the scale, it almost always takes a tragedy for someone to take action. Whether it's having to have a kid die in order for them to put in that stopsign on the busy neighborhood street, or having to have a natural disaster to get a government to wake up and protect its citizens.
Your country learned its lesson from its tragedy and your government got off its duff and did something about it. I hope my country is as smart as yours was.
