Immediately after a natural disaster a critical need is for safe shelter. In the first days and weeks in the relief phase shelter is often in the form of tents and makeshift shacks built from whatever materials are available. As relief shifts to recovery critical decisions are made that set the nature and scope of longer term shelter: location, quality, cost, role of government authorities and aid agencies, and of people themselves.Situated within the Centre for Development and Emergency Practice, there is a focus on shelter, we offer a Postgraduate Certificate in Shelter after Disaster as well as ongoing research and consultancy in this area.
