What is..?
Emergency shelter units are rapidly deployable, prefabricated living structures designed to provide immediate protection, safety and basic comfort for people affected by disasters, conflicts or sudden displacement. Manufactured in factory controlled environments, these units are transported to site as ready to install modules, enabling fast setup and immediate occupancy.
Unlike temporary tents, emergency shelter units are engineered with insulated panels, secure doors and windows, ventilation and durable structural systems. They are designed to meet international humanitarian, safety and hygiene standards while offering a more stable and dignified living environment during emergency and early recovery phases.

Advantages
Emergency shelter units deliver speed when it is most critical. Offsite manufacturing allows large volumes to be produced and deployed quickly, significantly reducing response times after emergencies.
Durability and protection are key advantages. These units provide improved resistance to harsh weather conditions, temperature extremes and prolonged use compared with soft shelters.
Comfort and dignity are enhanced through better thermal insulation, privacy and indoor environmental quality, supporting physical and psychological wellbeing of occupants.
Flexibility is another major benefit. Units can be relocated, reused or upgraded for longer term transitional housing, improving lifecycle efficiency and reducing overall humanitarian response costs.

Usage Areas
Emergency shelter units are widely used after earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, wildfires and other natural disasters.
They are also deployed in refugee and IDP settlements, conflict affected regions and emergency relocation programs where rapid, safe housing is required.
These units support governments, international organizations and NGOs in establishing organized emergency settlements that can later evolve into transitional or semi permanent communities with additional infrastructure such as clinics, schools and sanitation facilities.
