RE: Disaster relief shelters

[CHOWDHRY Nishat]

Dear Jeff,

 

I am copying your message to the shelter coordination group that has been instrumental in providing shelter assistance post cyclone Sidr. It is possible that some of them may be interested, although mostly local materials were/are being used currently for shelter.

 

Best

Nishat,

   Thank you so much for getting back to me and also passing on our information.  We are in the process of designing a tunnel tent per UNHCR and IFRC.  We have a prototype done and are finishing that up in the next few weeks.  Should I send pictures and specs to you or just forward that to the shelter e-mail you provided?

Thanks again,

Hi Nishat,

   I wanted to share the attached information with you and anyone else you may know who might be interested.  We had our engineer take our Series 1100 tents steel frame and build this more permanent structure.  The longest it took was leveling the ground to lay the block, he’s a perfectionist.  I went over and shook it very hard and was impressed with how strong and sturdy it was.  Please, any feedback would be very much appreciated.  Hope things are going well for you and please feel free to share the information as you see fit.

All the best,
