In a series of four programmes, Margaret Percy looks at how communities have coped with very different types of crisis. 3: Earthquake
In 1980 3,000 people died and nearly 500,000 were made homeless when an earthquake struck Naples and the surrounding villages in southern Italy. Five years later buildings remain in ruins and thousands are still living in squalid container camps waiting for inefficient authorities to rehouse them. Producer BRIAN KING BBC Birmingham (R)

Space for Living
Despite this year's series of space disasters, America is planning to put a space station into earth orbit by the mid 1990s. Quite apart from the technical difficulties of launching people into space, many other practical problems remain: present designs for zero-gravity toilets and showers, for example, still leave much to be desired; and astronauts can suffer from bone loss and increased radiation exposure.
Alun Lewis discusses the problems with the designers and scientists who are faced with the task of making space safe and habitable.
