Abstract

Disaster shelters are a critical component of emergency response and recovery efforts, providing temporary housing for displaced populations. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of disaster shelters, comparing the advantages, disadvantages, and suitability of tents, containers, and prefabricated shelters for different disaster scenarios. The research finds that prefabricated shelters offer improved durability, safety, and adaptability compared to traditional tents, but their implementation is often hindered by logistical and financial challenges. The paper concludes that prefabricated shelters have the potential to significantly improve disaster response and recovery efforts, and recommends further research and innovation in shelter design and deployment strategies.

Keywords - Disaster shelters, Temporary housing,Tents, Containers, Prefabricated shelters
