There is a WORLDWIDE NEED for disaster relief housing. Recent catastrophic
events in Japan, Haiti, Chile, Pakistan and Indonesia are perfect examples
of the devastation wreaked by natural events which affect those countries'
inhabitants' most basic needs: clean water, food and shelter. Temporary
housing becomes the breeding ground for disease and desperation. Swiftly
erected and durable disaster relief housing is needed.
The 2011 Sustainable Disaster Relief Housing Conference is a first of its
kind international forum and a unique opportunity to raise the visibility
for your organization or company among industry peers and participate in
this timely discussion:
- Listen to experts share their experiences from several recent catastrophic
events and discuss the needs resulting from various climatic, geographical
and political realities.
- Explore various topics concerning the building systems available;
shipping, delivery and erection considerations; and the financing and
coordination of relief efforts to arrive at timely and affordable
sustainable solutions.
- Discuss response and preparedness strategies for mitigating delays in the
delivery of solutions for regions at risk.
