What is..?
Disaster shelters are rapidly deployable, safe and resilient living units designed to protect individuals and families affected by earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, wildfires and other natural or man made disasters. Built using prefabricated and modular construction technologies, these shelters are engineered and manufactured in factory controlled environments and then transported to site for fast installation.
They provide secure, weather resistant and hygienic temporary or transitional accommodation that supports dignity, privacy and safety while communities recover and permanent housing is rebuilt.

Advantages
Disaster shelters offer unmatched speed of deployment. Because they are pre engineered and largely pre finished before delivery, large numbers of shelters can be mobilized quickly to affected regions.
Durability and safety are key benefits. Modular disaster shelters are designed to withstand challenging climates, transport stress and intensive daily use while meeting international safety, fire protection and humanitarian standards.
Their flexibility allows units to be relocated, expanded or reconfigured as needs evolve. Factory production improves quality control, reduces waste and ensures consistent performance across high volume deployments.
These shelters also support better camp planning and public health by enabling organized layouts with safe access, lighting, utilities and sanitation infrastructure.

Usage Areas
Disaster shelters are widely used in post disaster response programs following earthquakes, floods, landslides, hurricanes, tsunamis and other emergencies.
They provide safe accommodation for displaced families, vulnerable individuals and humanitarian staff in temporary settlements, relocation zones and recovery areas.
In addition to housing, disaster shelters can be adapted as clinics, classrooms, offices, kitchens, storage rooms and community facilities to restore essential services during recovery and reconstruction phases.
They are especially valuable in remote or high risk environments where traditional construction is too slow, unsafe or impractical.
