Registration is now open for the International Conference on Sustainable Disaster Relief Housing to be held on October 27 & 28, 2011 in Ottawa, Canada. This Conference will bring experts in the field from around the world during a day and a half of presentations and an exhibit showcase to discuss swift and durable construction solutions in support of disaster relief efforts. Register now at http://www.forestprod.org/ <http://www.forestprod.org/sustainablereliefhousing/register.html> sustainablereliefhousing/register.html 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.
