In the aftermath, many homes were damaged or destroyed, and thousands of people were rendered homeless or displaced. Local governments and relief organizations called for rapid deployment of emergency shelters to house affected families and individuals

Such disaster contexts demand fast, safe, and relocatable housing solutions — which is precisely where temporary modular shelters and container-based housing excel

Our Emergency Shelter Response Plan

Design & Planning

Use galvanized steel framed modular units with insulated sandwich panels to resist weather, wind, and seismic stress

Modular shelters sized 20 ft, 30 ft, or 40 ft units that can be connected or expanded

Layout included sleeping quarters, communal areas, sanitation blocks, and office/aid stations

Rapid Manufacturing & Prefabrication

Most components prefabricated in factory to reduce on-site working time

Units shipped as standard container-sized modules for efficient transport

Pre-assembled electrical, plumbing, and interior finishes to hasten deployment

Transportation & Deployment

Packed and transported via sea freight and land transport to Mindanao region

Use cranes or forklifts for quick unloading and assembling

On-site team finished installation within a few days to a week, depending on scale

Use & Maintenance

Shelters used as temporary residences, medical triage units, supply storage, and relief coordination centers

Design accounted for ventilation, insulation, drainage, to ensure habitability

Shelters are relocatable — once main relief phase concludes, they can be dismantled and reused in other affected regions
