What is..?
Emergency residential units are prefabricated and modular housing solutions designed to provide immediate, safe and dignified living conditions for people affected by disasters, conflict or sudden displacement. Manufactured in factory controlled environments, these units are engineered for rapid transportation, installation and occupancy, enabling fast response in emergency situations.
Unlike basic temporary shelters, emergency residential units are designed with residential comfort and safety in mind. They typically include insulated walls, secure doors and windows, proper ventilation and integrated electrical and mechanical systems, making them suitable for both emergency response and transitional housing during recovery phases.

Advantages
Emergency residential units deliver speed when it is most critical. Offsite manufacturing allows large volumes to be produced simultaneously, significantly reducing deployment timelines after a crisis.
Durability and safety are key advantages. These modular units are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, transport stress and intensive daily use while complying with international safety, fire protection and hygiene standards.
Comfort and dignity are enhanced through thermal insulation, privacy and improved indoor living conditions compared with tents or improvised shelters.
Flexibility is another major benefit. Units can be relocated, expanded or reconfigured as needs evolve, and can transition from short term emergency use to longer term residential solutions, improving lifecycle value and cost efficiency.

Usage Areas
Emergency residential units are widely used following earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, wildfires and other natural disasters. They are also deployed in refugee and IDP settlements, conflict affected regions and temporary relocation programs where permanent housing has been damaged or destroyed.
These units support displaced families, vulnerable populations and essential workers, and can be combined with modular clinics, schools, sanitation facilities and community buildings to create complete emergency settlements.
They are especially valuable in remote or high risk environments where traditional construction is too slow, unsafe or impractical.
