Post disaster shelter and sustainability
Professor David Sanderson, Director, Centre for Development and Emergency Practice (CENDEP) at the School of the Built Environment, Oxford Brookes University has announced that as a follow-up to the ELRHA funded shelter conference held at CENDEP in September in association with CARE UK, the final report, presentations and podcasts of some sessions are now available online at:
http://www.brookes.ac.uk/schools/be/oisd/architecture/cendep/shelters.html
The conference examined what role shelter should have in disaster relief and development while critically reflecting on its implementation at local and international levels. It was agreed, that while technological shelter solutions are important, good shelter practice always puts people first. This may mean reassessing practitioners' roles and responsibilities to include ways to work more successfully with affected people in a process, rather than focusing on providing an end product.
