Re: How Would YOU Design a Home for Disaster Victims?

Why don't you use the metal pre- shaped steel buildings. They are self supporting - use a minimal footing and if they are insulated with a spray soy insulation they will protect from any major heat build up. They will withstand any further earthquakes, they can be put up easily and if they would be better in an hurricane for the air could past over the arch shape and if I remember correctly the wind actually forces them into the ground.
