Earthquake Shelter Homes

Earthquake Shelter Homes

Earthquake Shelter Homes are the temporary type of constructions which provide relief shelter for the those unfortunate people who have lost their homes during the earthquake disaster. These shelter provide basic components which generally include a single bedroom or multiple rooms, a kitchen cum dinning, bathroom and a living room at most. Their durability and lifespan is less than that of permanent structures but they provide the best alternate as they are fast to construct and economic as well. These are made up of temporary and economic materials, which are either ordered from different places or which are available locally. 

The design is done according to the need and availability of different parameters such as space, construction materials, labor etc. We have many types of earthquake shelter designs available worldwide. And recently one of the most looked up shelter design is the prefabricated buildings which are manufactured in the company itself and then complied in the site to generate the desired structure. Hence, the name Prefabricated building. These temporary Earthquake Shelter homes are made to be resistant to the earthquake. These earthquake resistance structures are constructed with best technologies to minimize the effects of earthquake at most.
