Disaster relief needs an altogether different sensitivity. Economically weaker sections of the population often bear the brunt of disasters such as earth quakes, cyclones, tsunami etc. Here, poverty is accompanied by trauma of the disaster, hence immediate relief is very vital. Inspiration has come up recently with an acclaimed design demonstration for a small portable house which can be erected in less than 10 minutes, and can be very economic, if made in large numbers.

Long term rehabilitation for disaster affected is a slower process. It has to take into consideration, the culture, life style, occupation of the people etc. and has to be done with the participation of the people. |
