Given the freeze USA bomb cyclone, issuing of insulated panels to build Hexayurt H2's could have saved lives?

Perhaps a micro shelter to lobby for in future disaster avoidance.

Ive had a go at similar structures in their prototype stage for 2 or more folks   .

ie the roof of the wedgeblock shelter

Given the fragility of a hexayurt's construction materials, I doubt its walls would withstand hours of blizzard-force winds or its roof the weight of snow.  

[Percival du Chat Gris]

Ahh ... good point.

I was thinking sandwich panels rather than just raw polyiso ... snow loading is tricky.  I know a lot of the community use fuller-domes (geodesic domes) to deal with the snow load appropriately, but those are a lot more complex, and nowhere near as materials-friendly.
