What Is A Disaster Refuge?

Article Category: Business

Any temporary refuge setup to protect people from dangerous elements can be called an emergency refuge. Emergency refuge are provided to people who have lost their homes or places where they lived due to a natural calamity, war or disease. In some cities and towns there are permanent emergency refuge. These are managed by private organisations and are used by people who may have lost their home in a fire or any other disaster.

Any structure that is erected to give people temporary refuge can be termed as an emergency refuge. The most common sort of emergency refuge used is tents. International organisations keep stock of tents and send them wherever disaster refuge are mandatory. Schools, colleges, churches, and halls have also been used as crisis refuge. During the Second World War, tube train stations were used as disaster protection.

An disaster protection can be made from a diversity of material. In a jungle or wooded area, branches are cut and placed in the ground and leaves are spread over the top as a roof. This might be one of the crudest forms of an crisis refuge that can be constructed.

If people have to live for an extended period in an disaster protection, then prefabricated homes may be constructed. A made up home can be assembled fast and gave better relief against the elements than a tent. An disaster protection can also be built using empty bags filled with local soil and placed in a circle. Poles are placed across the top, and are covered with a tarp or plastic sheet.

Earth mixed with straw and water is then plastered onto the tarp. The door and windows may be made by using salvaged doors and windows or placing a scrap wooden beam across the opening and hanging a scrap sheet of cloth, tarp or any other material. These sorts of crisis refuge were constructed in Pakistan after the 2005 earthquake.

An crisis protection has to be constructed from the material available at the disaster site. The crisis protection has to be safe, protective and cheap to construct. Women and children suffer the most in an crisis and require direct protection. Nonetheless, before any relief can arrive in an crisis, the materials available at the disaster site must be used to make crisis refuges.

You cannot expect people to sit out in thunderstorms, hurricanes, cyclones and wait for the aid to arrive. Fallen trees, branches, salvaged materials from collapsed homes and buildings have been used to make crisis refuges. People have been using their common sense and obtainable materials to setup disaster refuge.

There are a diversity of crisis protection that have been made during an crisis across the world. China has had massive earthquakes and floods and the government has had to provide disaster protection to people. The United States witnessed a devastating hurricane that left thousands of people homeless. There again the government and aid agencies moved in to provide disaster protection. No single standard of crisis refuge is there that is constructed. You have to build an disaster protection with whatever material is accessible.
