While we are on the subject of related holokai links,
we are proud to have figured out the most effective way we can ad value to various disaster relief housing efforts around the globe.

One of the components of ShelterKraft Works and ShelterCraft Designs is to build an on site response team to provide a housing triage center at any disaster relief location in the world.
The idea here is to be able to set up a mobile ISBU fabrication facility anywhere in the world to aid in the reconstruction of an affected area where the housing stock has been decimated.
With the Red Cross and various other disaster relief agencies, the initial crises can be met. Food, medical supplies and tents are usually air lifted to affected areas. Once the initial needs have been met and the area begins to stabilize and recover, port facilities and other infrastructure are repaired for the next wave of relief, coming in the form of shipped goods and materials.
SKW will arrive on the docks with their Mash Boxes full of tools. A local work force will be gathered and trained to turn arriving cargo containers into temporary dormitories, medical facilities and food centers. From there permenant housing and support structures will be built. The efforts of this new 'cottage industry' can remain viable long after the area has been helped to normalcy.
By concentrating efforts on the site of the disaster, funding and effort is maximized by invested parties.
The efforts of Mash Housing can be beautifully dove tailed with many of the current relief agencies to maximize their own efforts on the ground where it is needed most.
