Mass Timber Disaster Housing
to create a cycle of carbon, commodity, and capital
Disaster Relief and Recovery Housing What it is?
Disaster relief and recovery housing are structures used to house individuals effected by man made or natural disasters. Relief housing is intended to be used for 6 months after the disaster and recovery housing can be used for one to two years after the disaster or indefinably. It is important that relief and recovery housing is fast to assemble, community driven, and easy to transport. Currently disaster relief and recovery housing options are typically trailers or mobile homes that can be transported to the site of the disaster. They can be on or off the grid in terms of electrical and are stored in mass holding sites until they are deployed.
Problems with traditional relief and recovery housing: -Housing are made from fossil fuel heavy materials and methods - Lower resistance to natural disasters than other homes -Low equity and harder to sell after recovery -Require larger areas to store between disasters - Storage areas depreciate surrounding land values -Not aesthetically pleasing
Sample prefabricated housing kit called Kiss House
Reinvent What it could be?
Prefabricated mass timber housing kits that are produced with local timber from the community or state. These kits can be manufactured ahead of time and stored near certain high risk communities. Where stock piles can be deployed after the near by cities or towns are hit by a natural disaster.
Materials and Methods:
Mass timber relief and recovery housing would be a panelized structure that could be on or off the grid and be assembled in a short amount of time. Cranes or small machinery would still be needed to construct the relief and recovery housing. The local community member or family would own the mass timber home and it could be assembled on their existing property. This enables the effected individual to have a source of capital or equity that they can either keep after recovery is over or sell to another individual or company.
Mitigation
Use of mass timber as a building material promotes carbon sequestration. The act of harvesting and planting of young trees for mass timber enables more carbon to be stored in the trees, than if the trees were left alone and no new growth was planted. This could be projected to decrease the amount of carbon in the atmosphere causing less sea level rise and consequentially a slower rate of natural disaster after using mass
Community Cost Money paid to stockpile program for the community ownership of mass timber panels in the stockpile program Timber supplies harvested in the community are traded to the stockpile program in exchange for lower price rates on CLT panels.
Compensation Mass timber panels that can be assembled into 2-3 bedroom housing from 800 sq ft to 1200 sq ft A portion of capital generated from the carbon credit program would be made available to the community to help with disaster relief operations
