Political upheavals and natural disasters suddenly involve many people and require urgent interventions for their accommodation and the provision of essential services like water supply and organic waste disposal. The paper considers an emergency settlement in its progressive development both for water services and for shelters, from first interventions, supported and coordinated by specific Organizations, to future developments. Starting from installation of mobile high-tech plants and light-tech shelters, next steps and strategies are examined, for a medium to long term settlement supported by technologies suited to the specific needs and local characteristics, demonstrating social and environmental sustainable “best practices”.

Abstract

Political upheavals and natural disasters suddenly involve many people and require urgent interventions for their accommodation and the provision of essential services like water supply and organic waste disposal. The paper considers an emergency settlement in its progressive development both for water services and for shelters, from first interventions, supported and coordinated by specific Organizations, to future developments. Starting from installation of mobile high-tech plants and light-tech shelters, next steps and strategies are examined, for a medium to long term settlement supported by technologies suited to the specific needs and local characteristics, demonstrating social and environmental sustainable “best practices”.
