The clean-up is underway in Port-au-Prince as crews try to remove at least some of the concrete and other debris left behind by the massive quake. On a smaller scale, home and business owners are trying to do the same. Some are even rebuilding. But one engineer tells NY1 it will take decades and new, stronger building codes will have to be put in place and enforced.

"Honestly it will take 20 to 25 years. Now what they have to do, every time someone builds they have to study the land and have some offices taking care of how the people are building," said engineer Lesley Savein.

One woman who traveled from Midwood, Brooklyn found her family alive, but says she's upset she hasn't seen more heavy equipment in use.

A big portion of construction equipment would have to come from other countries. Haiti is one of the poorest places on earth. Many people say the country can't rebuild on its own.

Earlier this week, the Dutch navy arrived at the seaport and started to unload supplies -- a sign other ships may be able to dock, allowing for commerce to slowly pick up.

Meanwhile, on the streets and in the markets, Haitians have started to sell their produce and other merchandise. But so many jobs have been lost that money is hard to come by and getting help from outside is not easy.

"You can't even count on people who live overseas because they can't send you money through western union, they can't reach you," said Haitian resident Stephane Mompeyrous.

Many Haitians are trying to earn money whatever way they can, even asking the U.S. military for jobs.

"Sometimes they give me the food to go and survive with my family. Other times they give me the money. So that is the reason I come to help them," said one Haitian resident.

For now, survivors of the earthquake are living the best way they can as the dust continues to settle over Port-au-Prince.
