This session will focus on 'Post Disaster Housing' and will explore how technologies (both new and those mature in other domains) might be utilized to address the needs of individuals displaced through disaster, either man-made or natural. Scope:
- Building materials
- Treatment of materials
- Building design
- Rapid site inspection and preparation
- Building services including water, heating, power and communications
The session wishes to explore the maturity of technologies, their applicability to Post Disaster Housing, and their route to implementation.
