In early-November 2017, a new collaborative exhibit will open at the BRE Innovation Park in Watford, demonstrating dynamic shelter techniques and materials used to meet current needs in disaster relief.

When humanitarian disaster strikes, providing shelter for displaced people and families is one of the first critical components of emergency response.

The exhibit by BRE and Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is a life-size, walk-through recreation of emergency shelters for different contexts.

In addition to such shelters needing to be designed for resilience, rapid construction and deployment, the exhibit aims to demonstrate the crucial use of local skills, labour and materials.

The 17.5 sq. m shelter is designed to be occupied by a family of five, and is typical of the usual minimum space allocation of shelters. According to international humanitarian SPHERE standards, this gives 3.5 sq. m per person as the minimum space allocation.

The exhibit will be a focal point for a research and demonstrations on process and non-technical issues. Demonstrations will range on relevant topics, for example, the integration of toilets into shelter structures to ensure adequate sanitation, and to highlight the link of shelter with health and sanitation programmes.

The model shelter will meet the gender, social, cultural and psychological needs of people after disasters and is especially focused on the most vulnerable – women, children, elderly, sick and disabled.

Jamie Richardson, Shelter and Settlements Technical Advisor for CRS (the official international humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the US), said:

“Recovery after extreme weather events such as Hurricane Irma may take many years, which often requires some kind of transitional shelter. This exhibition shows how organisations can collaborate to build safer, stronger shelters and better to meet the challenges of a changing climate and environment.

"The shelter design addresses the physical environment but also the processes that need to accompany this, allowing people to live normal lives in safety, good health and with dignity.

“Our aims are to share information with stakeholders and the wider public and media on these issues. It will be part of our outreach to building professionals and materials experts, and act as a stimulus for wider research and understanding on issues such as climate change resilience and sustainability."
