Emergency shelters and habitat
|
Shelter is a basic human need, essential for survival in environments exposed to natural hazards or conflict. When a disaster impacts a territory, the affected populations often face a disruption of their daily life and their points of reference. Reconstruction of damaged housing and public buildings is essential to overcome the effects of the disaster, ensure dignity and enable the population to return to daily life as soon as possible. Additionally, it is necessary to carry out risk reduction activities, including the “Build Back Better” approach.
|
As part of the response to the Batsirai and Emnati cyclones that severely hit Madagascar last February, PIROI was able to support the Malagasy Red Cross in the implementation of shelter and reconstruction activities. Over the past few weeks, various activities such as awareness-raising, coordination and reconstruction have been carried out in the most affected regions.
|
|
This e-mini-learning course provides an introduction to shelter management and coordination within an emergency response operation through an online course designed by InterAction (an alliance of NGOs and international partners) with the support of USAID (US Agency for International Development). It is designed for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of shelter programming and coordination. This e-mini-learning has been designed by a student of the Master’s degree “Risks and Environment” in which PIROI participates as a partner of the University of La Reunion.
