the Aftermath The affects from each disaster vary depending on the type of disaster. Below is a list of affects most commonly documented. *With necessary precautions and preemptive planning, these affects can be avoided or lessen damage* • • • • •
Uprooted Trees • Degraded Soil Buried Buildings • Roadblocks Damage to Crops • Liquefaction Injuries & Fatalities • Power Loss Supply Shortage • Poverty
Hazards
Physical events, which may cause loss of life, injury, or property damage. Characterized by its location, intensity, frequency, and probability.
• • • • •
Daily Life Disruption Lengthy Rehabilitation Time & Cost Spread of Epidemic Disease Man-made Structure Damage Agriculture Loss/Suffers
Vulnerability
Physical, social, economic, and environmental factors that increase the susceptibility of a community to hazards.
Risks
Probability of harmful affects or economic losses resulting from the interactions between hazards and vulnerable/capable conditions.

Disaster Relief Roles government
Congress has passed 128 separate laws regarding the government’s role in the disaster relief sector from 1803 to 1950. The Federal Government has the ability to make funds available to restore homes to a safe, sanitary and functional condition.
Disaster Relief organizations | WA L M A RT | • Supports the advancement of technology to help improve the speed and focus of a disaster relief team • Notes from the field of a disaster relief team: • Fragmentation • Local Planning • Technology

Design Guidelines
| RED CROSS | • About 64,000 Red Cross disaster responses yearly • 95% of relief workers are volunteers •Open shelters that give people a safe place to stay, a hot meal & access to other support • Distribute emergency supplies • Toothbrush, Deodorant, Shampoo, Tarps, Rakes, Shovels, Trash bags
Documentation has been recorded, and the following list is a suggestion of design features.
• Survivors should have fuel and stoves, provided with proper clothing, stoves, and blankets. • Reducing air gaps can keep shelters warmer in • Ventilation & Shade Provisions • Recyclable Materiality • Winterized Shelters
Common Issues Sustainability
Lack of Support
Location
Religious Differences
Cultural Differences Gender Issues Poor Social Networks
Educational Lack of Local Material Difficult to Maintain

Shelter Categories Emergency Shelter
• Life-saving support • Basic form, and brief • Does not accommodate extensive prep of food or prolonged medical services
Temporary Shelter
• Meant for short-term use • Simple tent, or public mass shelter • Constructed a few weeks following a disaster
Temporary Housing
• Long-term periods (six months to three years) • Prefabricated unit to allow people to return to their daily life • Usually installed on temporary land
5
Transitional Shelter
• Developed by displaced individuals following a disaster • Can be relocated from temporary site to Permanent location • Available for upgrades and resale • Longevity of many months or years
Progressive Shel-
• Designed and built to be more permanent and upgradeable
Core Shelter
• Permanent housing in the future • Includes foundation, and all or most of key services • At least one or two rooms to meet Permanent housing standards and facilitate improvement
Permanent Housing
• Should be resistant/ resilient to future hazards & disasters

Precedent Studies Suri
Suri is the Shelter Uniter for Rapid Installations that was created to house impacted individuals during the reconstruction of buildings in Lorca, Spain. The personal experiences from peacekeeping missions in Haiti molded Suri for the Lorca ear thquake in 2011. The shelter system is shipped flat and then assembled by t wo people by expanding the structure horizontally, and filing the walls with mud, sand, or debris.

Pros • Adjustable Stilts • Refillable Folding Wall • Modular • Assembled by Two People with One Tool • 10 Year Life • Reusable
Cons • Costly to Manufacture
Pros • Tech Savvy • Easy Construction • Personalized Digital Security • RadioFrequency- ID (RFID) • Modular
Cons • Poor Lumbar Support • Poor Ventilation
The Exo
This shelter is designed for ordinary in ex traordinar y circumstances. The Exo accommodates an array of electronic components to keep people connected with the familiarit y of their own homes with a space heater, mini-fridge, a generator, and outlets. A sense of securit y is established by an LED-illuminated, captive-touch panel that operates the lights and locking mechanisms.

Precedent Studies Bottle House
This simple construction method of recycled plastic t wo-liter bottles filled with sand, and bonded by a combination of cement, a mix ture of ear th and straw, was founded by a local man in Nigeria. The cement that holds the bottles together also ser ve as thermal insulation. The circular shape of the structure has the dual purpose of hindering sand dunes from forming around the home during sandstorms, but it also reduces the impact of solar rays up to 90% - with a white ex terior.
11
Pros • Local Recycled Materiality • Reduces Waste • Low-Cost Construction • Bullet-Proof
Cons • Requires Four Laborers and Two Weeks Construction Time
Pros • Extremely Energy Efficient • No Power Required
Cons • Short Lifespan • Costly to Manufacture
The Ambio
Harnessed from the biolumenescence of an octopus, the Ambio utilizes new bioluminescent technology to power this luminare. The bacteria needs a motion throughout the lamp to create its glow. Instead of constant manual labor as a power source, the lamps is operated by mobile perptuum. Two weights of var ying weight are pushed to throw of f the balance of the lamp to mobilize the ar tificial seawater. By activating the weights, the bacteria move back and for th and produce light for up to t went y minutes. 12

Conceptual Design Concept
| PETRICHOR | The smell of ear th af ter it rains. The concept petrichor is beautifully symbolic in two ways in relation to the Panacea. The first is the feeling. It is the natural aroma of the ear th that welcomes the immediate sensation of familiarity and safety once the storm passes. The second is the restoration proper ties of the storm. It provides life in a variety of ways, including the per fect environment for Panacea’s biomimicr y inspiration, the firefly.

Phase 1 Emergency SHelter
Panacea consists of two phases and a town center in the disaster relief sector. Phase 1 begins with a rapid deployment emergency shelter. The name of this structure is coined from both its physical similarity with an egg,and the embr yonic stage of the firefly. The longevity of both the firefly egg and this structure are only designed to accommodate impacted individuals for a few weeks.

Phase 2 Core SHelter
The second phase of Panacea has a slower construction process than that of emergency shelter. The components are flat-packed and shipped to the site where they are then constructed by the disaster relief team, or the impacted individuals. The structure is designed to be built with ease by anyone, with or without construction experience. Like the lar vae stage of the firefly, these core shelter are designed to house impacted individuals for years to come. Unlike the firefly, people are able to purchase these homes for indefinite use, or resale.
