10-Minute, Recyclable Emergency Housing for Earthquakes

When disaster strikes, every second counts. The "golden 60 seconds" concept applies not only to rescue and relief efforts but also extends to the crucial post-disaster temporary resettlement phase. Disaster-stricken people urgently need a safe and warm "home," and temporary housing, with its speed and stability, is building a line of hope for affected people during this critical rescue period.

At the disaster relief site, time is life, and the transportation efficiency of temporary housing is truly "emergency vanguard." Unlike traditional temporary building materials, which are cumbersome and time-consuming to transport, temporary housing uses a modular design and can be flexibly transported by flatbed trucks, trains, containers, and even helicopters, allowing it to arrive in the disaster area with rescue teams as quickly as possible. Starting from the arrival of the transport vehicles, no complex foundation treatment is required; two workers can complete the assembly of a single container in 10 minutes, and a small resettlement community accommodating 1,000 people can be built within 72 hours. Compared to the traditional prefabricated houses that take several days to build, temporary resettlement housing truly extends the efficiency of the "golden 60 seconds of rescue" to the resettlement stage, allowing disaster victims to quickly have shelter from the wind and rain without having to wait for a long time in the wind and rain.

Safety and stability are the core requirements for post-disaster resettlement, and the resettlement housing delivers a perfect answer with its robust quality. It can easily withstand level 17 gales; the container body is welded from high-strength steel, and reinforced locking mechanisms are added to the joints, ensuring structural stability even in extreme winds and preventing secondary damage from house collapse. In the face of continuous heavy rain, the container roof uses a seamless welding process, and the walls and floors are covered with high-density waterproof membrane, eliminating seepage and leakage problems at the source and keeping the interior dry at all times. Furthermore, the interior of the container uses Class A fire-resistant insulation materials, which not only effectively block open flames to avoid fire hazards but also lock in heat in cold weather. Even in temperatures as low as -10°C, the indoor temperature can be maintained above 10°C without the need for additional high-powered heating equipment, ensuring a safe and warm living environment for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children after a disaster.

The resettlement housing not only allows for the rapid construction of individual units but also enables the creation of fully functional resettlement communities tailored to local conditions. In larger disaster areas, the resettlement housing can be flexibly planned according to the terrain and needs, incorporating residential, public service, and material storage areas. Within the residential area, each unit accommodates 6-8 people and can be simply divided into sleeping and storage spaces, equipped with basic furniture such as folding beds and simple wardrobes. Public areas include temporary medical rooms, canteens, and washing areas. The medical room units have pre-installed interfaces for medical equipment, the canteen units are equipped with simple kitchen utensils and dining tables and chairs, and the washing areas are equipped with water-saving faucets and shower facilities to meet the basic living needs of the residents. The units are connected by detachable corridors to prevent residents from walking in the open during severe weather. Although the entire resettlement community is temporary, it is filled with humanistic care, allowing disaster victims to feel the warmth of home after the disaster. Disaster relief is not a one-off effort; resettlement housing must also consider long-term value and environmental protection. As reconstruction efforts progress and the need for resettlement diminishes, resettlement housing, unlike traditional temporary buildings, does not face demolition and abandonment. It can be dismantled, repaired, cleaned, and fully recycled by professional teams. These modular units can be transported to other affected areas to continue emergency resettlement, or used as temporary offices and construction site dormitories in urban development, truly achieving "one-time investment, multiple uses," reducing resource waste and injecting sustainable power into disaster relief efforts.

In this race against time in disaster relief, resettlement housing seizes the initiative with speed, safeguards safety with stability, provides comprehensive services, and practices environmental protection through cost-effectiveness. Choosing temporary resettlement housing means securing more opportunities for survival and shelter for disaster victims during the golden rescue period, making every second of rescue time more valuable, and ensuring that post-disaster resettlement is no longer a problem!
