EMERGENCY &

Emergency shelter could
be provided to a substantial number of poor people
whose houses are swept away, collapsed or damaged in
the disaster. Most of them had taken shelter in
elevated points under the sky or taken shelter in some
other’s house or in public places such as schools,
temples etc. This emergency shelter provided a lot of
respite to them. Some of them who have returned back
to their homes are also using the tarpaulins over
their damaged thatch. |

Temporary shelter is made
available to the most vulnerable people who are
unable to construct/repair their houses at least till

homeless an emotional support as shelter is not only
considered as a basic need but also as an emotional
need. |
