Modular buildings have taken on many roles in society. They are often used as homes, offices, religious facilities, classrooms, health clinics and retail centers. During times of disaster they can provide an immediate solution to those in need. Whether it’s temporary housing, a command center for emergency response workers or swing space for an organization while its facility is being rebuilt, modular buildings can quickly and cost effectively meet almost any space need.
An example of this could be seen during Hurricane Katrina. Modular construction and pre-leased buildings provided an immediate space solution to victims during this time. The temporary housing program provided by the state allowed victims and families the opportunity to live in a new modular home as the victims began to rebuild their lives.
Due to the flexibility, speed and advancement of modular buildings, they are becoming an essential tool in disaster relief. Hurricane Katrina is just one example of the many possibilities modular construction provides during disaster recovery.
