SIP homes are both earthquake resistant (6 SIP homes in Kobe, Japan survived with almost no damage) and can withstand hurricanes ( a home in Tenn. was blown partly off the foundation- block walls crumbled, with very little damage). Termites are a concern, but they can be built with only the floor and footings needing to be concrete. Exterior and interior finish could be stucco/plaster. In a 500SF home no panel would be too heavy to place by hand. 4" panels could be set very rapidly with 1 trained leader and 3 or 4 laborers.
These could be weather tight for about $5000 plus the concrete work.
