IFRC transitional shelter working group
At the annual Federation Shelter Reference Group meeting hosted by the French Red Cross (April 2010), it was recommended that tried and tested transitional shelter designs be compiled. This booklet of designs would help to help accelerate decision making on shelter designs in future responses.
This book was compiled and edited by Joseph Ashmore and Corinne Treherne (IFRC). Arup International Department with the team members: Jo da Silva, Elizabeth Parker, Emily Roberts, Isobel Byrne Hill completed the shelter reviews.
