The city will take months if not years to recover from this. Of course what the tourists will see will be polished up (can you believe they kicked Civil Defence headquarters out of the Art Gallery to prepare for an upcoming art exhibition, right in the middle of an emergency?!), but it's a bit different for people living here. Many homes must be demolished and many other people don't even have basic sewage and waste water services yet. It's the disaster that just won't quit.
