| Summary: | Disaster in the hot humid climate region can be catasthrophic. The after effect of disaster is not limted to
the lost of lives but properties including homes. The condition may be worsen by inadequate and late relief
respond. One of the most critical issue in disaster striken areas are the provision of adequate and suitable
transit accommodation. The fastest an suitable system of shelter accommodation available is by using the
prefabrication based on local materials. In the current research a system known as ‘FLEXIHAUS’ which
has the advantage of speed and simplicity in construction is the most recent innovation in disaster houses in
the hot and humid climate of Malaysia. |
