It should be appreciated that any method or series of steps may be used to assemble the shelter 100 .
  • modes of transportation such as train or flatbed truck, are also contemplated and are determined based on the availability of a particular mode of transportation and what type of transportation is permitted by the local infrastructure.
  • each integrated shelter 100 has an autonomous water supply system 104 that is particularly needed in hot-humid climates.
  • Rainwater is collected on the curved or sloped, inflatable roof 108 , passed through a ceramic filter 137 , and collected in at least one flexible, ultraviolet (UV) light inhibited vinyl bladder tank 114 .
  • the integrated shelter 100 may also have a plurality of bladder tanks 114 .
  • the bladder tank 114 which is initially rolled up and stored underneath the platform of the integrated shelter, uncoils automatically due to the increasing water pressure from the water entering the tank.
  • the bladder tank 114 uncoils to a length of 0.60 meters (which is identical to the height of the raised dwelling platform) as it is filled with water.
  • each shelter's roof 108 is approximately (3.00 m [L] ⁇ 4.00 m [W]) resulting in a collection surface having an area of 12 m 2 .
  • the maximum amount of rainfall in the months of September to November and March to April is approximately 2,500 liter/month.
  • the average consumption per shelter unit (four occupants) is: 4 ⁇ 10 liters/day or 1,240 l/month.
  • the size of the bladder tanks is coordinated with the size of the shelter support platform and its clearance from the ground.
  • the shelter design is able to accommodate a maximum number of four (4) interconnected bladder tanks each having dimensions of 3.00 m (L) ⁇ 0.35 (H) ⁇ 1.00 (W) for a volume of 4.20 m 3 , or 4,200 liters. This tank size compensates for periods of insufficient precipitation during dry periods.
  • a first flush device i.e., ceramic filter 137 , ensures that runoff from the first spell of rain is flushed out and does not enter the system. This is necessary since the first spell of rain carries a relatively larger amount of pollutants from the air and the roof surface.
  • the water is purified by activated carbon cartridges 138 along with ultra membrane filtration or micro-membrane filtration modules incorporated in the bladder tank assembly.
  • the purification components of the water supply system 104 has the capacity to deal with E - coli and is designed to meet the World Health Organization's (WHO) water regulation standards.

  • the bladder tank(s) 114 recoil back under the integrated shelter 100 using integrated stainless steel coils, and is also stored automatically beneath the platform 106 , which protects it against damage and soiling.
  • Using the water supply system 104 makes it is necessary to calculate the tank volume as a function of daily/monthly rain water availability at the site and the water consumption of four persons per shelter so that adequate water is available. An example calculation follows:
  • Each integrated shelter 100 also has an electrical system 102 that generates and supplies electricity for lights, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) 142 mounted in the shelters to illuminate the interior living space of the shelters, for small cooking equipment and for other electrical devices.
  • the shelters 100 each have a size of approximately 1429.39 mm ⁇ 424.40 mm and are rated for a power of 32 watts and an operating voltage of 16.5 volts.
  • the plastic photovoltaic film serves as the front enclosure of the shelter and provides privacy for the dwellers.
  • the generation of electrical energy begins at the beginning of the day when the front shelter enclosure is opened to a vertical canopy and supported by fiberglass rods or local materials, such as bamboo sticks.
  • the photovoltaic plastic sheets or panels 144 also may serve as a cover against rain, and as a semi-private, intermediate space between two shelter modules facing each other (see FIG. 9 ). In this space, school can be held, community meetings find a protected space and supplies for first aid shelters can be stored.
  • the radiation exposure of the shelter walls to the cardinal directions of the sun causes the photo voltaic panels 144 to be only oriented as a horizontal roof surface facing the zenith.
  • the canopy structures are oriented independently of the orientation of the individual articulated shelters.
  • each photovoltaic panel 144 is delivered as Direct Current power (DC). It is assumed that the dwellers in the shelter units 100 use electricity for cooking for a period of 2 hours/day.
  • An electrical storage device or storage battery 146 such as a car battery, of 13.5 kWh is therefore necessary, especially for overcast and night time conditions.
  • the lighting devices may be connected to the battery 146 or to at least one of the photovoltaic panels 144 .
  • the above integrated shelter 100 provides transportable, convenient, safe and durable temporary housing to people that are stranded and homeless due to natural disasters and other disasters. As a result, the devastating effects of such disasters on those people are lessened as they try to rebuild their lives.
