Structurally sound quick assembly reusable housing shelters are assembled at disaster sites. These rapidly deployable shelters are assembled on site, and can be disassembled after their use is complete, and deployed to another disaster location. The components are built in a factory setting, so that all the tolerances can be maintained. The identical components are interchangeable. Wall and roof panels of the shelters are coated with a rugged polyurea coating, which is waterproof, mold-proof and with no corrosion. Identical T-shaped uprights are spaced equally apart along an outer perimeter of the shelter. The wall and roof panels nest in place between adjacent T-shaped uprights, which each have a flat backend and a centrally located, perpendicular protruding buttressing web extending outwardly from shelter's exterior. T-shaped roof rafters spanning respective uprights of the housing shelter unit, and have notches engaging upper portions of each upright, or vice versa.
A method of assembling and disassembling a temporary housing shelter unit comprising the steps of:
The method of claiml in which bottom portions of said T-shaped uprights and said nesting prefabricated insulated wall panels extend below the flooring level of the frame of the temporary housing shelter unit, and waterproof strips are provided vertically next to said T-shaped uprights, so that rainwater, flood water and melting snow will not intrude into the interior of the housing shelter unit.
A pod containing components of a housing shelter unit comprising:
A modular house shelter unit configured for assembly and disassembly using only screws and a screwdriver, said modular house shelter unit comprising:
