Building Disaster Relief Homes from Garbage - Presentation by WhitneyLe Belkowitz

Good Afternoon All,  Next week Whitney will be giving a presentation on research we are conducting on building disaster relief homes from recycled waste materials aka garbage.

Through this research we are hoping to create a way reclaim and reuse landfills of coal combustion residue as well as build homes for families in areas struck by disaster.

Attached you will find information on the presentation to include: Bio, Blurb, Cost and Location.

We hope to see you next week.

Call/email if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Jon

About This Project

In impoverished areas where the strength and facilities of the local government has been exhausted by natural disasters or unforeseen events, shelter is the basic commodity needed to ensure the protection and well-being of impacted families. The purpose of this research is to identify materials that can be used to build shelters. Ultimately, shelters built from these recycled materials would be used in impoverished areas for disaster response.
Blast off!
