Hexayurt Project: Cheap and Durable Emergency Housing for Earthquake Struck Haiti

Housing is one of the most pressing among the many problems faced by the Haitian population in the wake of the devastating earthquake of January 12, 2010. Rebuilding the capital and the provincial cities destroyed by the cataclysm is an enterprise that will last decades. In the meantime, tens of thousands of homeless people have to be housed.
Here is one inexpensive and practical solution to this urgent housing problem.

As emergency shelter for all those displaced people who have suddenly become homeless, the Hexayurt seems to be an excellent option. It is inexpensive, sturdy, and easy to construct.

I ask readers to circulate this information. An enterprising organization might just act on it.
