Emergency housing

[J & D Goldman]

So the climatologists are telling us we've had 50 years of unusally
good global weather and that things are really going back to "normal".
Their point is, don't expect the frequency of storms and earthquakes
to let up, we had our rest from them, and now its over.

So, along with that, the need for emergency housing has never been
greater. FEMA buys how many millions of dollars worth of trailers?
Certainly an advantage having built-in utilities in a ready to live-in
format, but in some cases, people would be happy to just get under
cover.  I think those people in Pakistan, in the cold rain, would be
delighted to have one.

One wonders what it will take to get domes to a point where they are
available and actually used.  I just placed an order for some samples
of plastic greenhouse pots made from PLA, essentially corn starch, and
have been visiting with some others about soybean resins used for
insulation and foamboard perfectly suitable for structures. When you
look at what is being done with honeycomb panels now, I think I can
see how this could really come together.

I know some people are working on at least some emergency housing demo
projects to give domes  enough exposure to start the ball rolling.
Anybody see anything happening in domes for emergency housing?  No
lack of need....
