One of the most urgent and resource-consuming needs in disaster recovery is shelter. Traditionally, well after the storm has passed, government goes scrambling for new (expensive) trailers. But even the ‘typical’ storm can leave displaced survivors living in precarious (if not toxic), high-maintenance FEMA trailers for years on end. Once residents can’t stand them anymore, and only if the trailers survive weather threats, they’re dumped at fire sale prices.
The ideal disaster response structures would be versatile and work in a wide variety of settings. They would meet commercial, residential, and governmental needs. Ideal shelters would be economical and reusable. Ideally, emergency shelters would be quickly deployed and redeployed, as needs change. Most importantly, the ideal structure would allow displaced survivors to rest easy, knowing they’re protected from the next disaster.
In other words, the ideal structure is anything but the typical FEMA trailer or mobile home.
