BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Post-quake rebuilding costs Italy $3.5 billion a year: Minister

August 23, 2017 Reprints

Graziano del Rio, Italy's minister of infrastructure and transport, said that the country spends more than €3 billion ($3.5 billion) annually on rebuilding after earthquakes, Business Standard reported, citing media sources. Around 10 million homes in Italy urgently needed to be made earthquake-proof and major tax breaks and grants were available to property owners for the necessary building work, the minister said after a magnitude-4.0 earthquake killed at least two people, injured 39 and left 2,600 homeless on the seismically active resort-island of Ischia off Naples late on Aug. 21.
