After every natural disaster/human made disasters, conflicts and wars, on the devastated land, the most urgent need is "a place to live and basic security". As practitioners deeply engaged in prefabricated products such as container houses, prefabricated houses and mobile toilets, we deeply understand that post-disaster reconstruction is never a slogan, but using every product and every rapid response to build a solid line of hope for the affected people and open convenient channels for rescue work. Today, let's talk about how our industry uses these seemingly ordinary prefabricated products to play an irreplaceable role in post-disaster reconstruction.

The core of post-disaster reconstruction is inseparable from three keywords: "speed, safety and practicality". Each of our products accurately matches every demand scenario in the disaster area around these three keywords — from emergency rescue in the golden 72 hours, to long-term transitional living security, and then to supporting supplementary in permanent reconstruction, container houses, prefabricated houses, mobile toilets and other products have always been the most solid "temporary reliance" for the disaster area.

I. Golden 72 Hours: Emergency Rescue, Our Products Are the Confidence for "Quick Action"

The 72 hours after a disaster is the "life window" for rescue. At this time, the most critical thing is to quickly provide a safe temporary space for the displaced people and the busy rescuers. Container houses and prefabricated houses are the core force in this "speed battle", seizing every minute of rescue time with their prefabrication advantages.

Unlike traditional buildings that require months of pouring and decoration, our container houses and prefabricated houses have already been prefabricated in the factory — walls, doors, windows, thermal insulation, lighting and other basic configurations are all available.

After being transported to the disaster area, no complex construction is needed, only simple hoisting and splicing are required. The installation of one set can be completed in as fast as 2 hours, 2 people can build 3-4 sets a day, and an emergency resettlement area of 500 sets can be put into use within 3 days, truly realizing "quick action" and quickly relieving the housing pressure in the disaster area.

 (I) Container Houses: "Mobile Safe Houses" in Disaster Areas

For the affected people, container houses are the most reliable "mobile safe houses". Its main body is made of high-strength steel, which can resist wind of more than level 10 and earthquake of magnitude 7, with excellent fireproof, moisture-proof and sound insulation performance. Even in the face of aftershocks, heavy rain and other secondary disasters, it can support a safe world for the people and avoid secondary injuries.

(II) Prefabricated Houses: "Flexible Choice" for Mass Resettlement

Prefabricated houses focus more on flexibility and portability, and can be flexibly spliced and combined according to the number of resettled people, suitable for mass construction of collective dormitories. Whether it is a small resettlement site for dozens of people or a centralized resettlement area for hundreds of people, prefabricated houses can quickly adapt and efficiently solve the temporary housing needs of a large number of people.

Mobile toilets are even more indispensable "rigid demand products" for post-disaster emergency. After the disaster, infrastructure is damaged, water and power supply is interrupted, and traditional toilets cannot be used. Mobile toilets do not require complex installation. After being hoisted in place, they can be quickly put into use with temporary water supply or environmental protection fecal tanks. They can not only meet the basic physiological needs of the people, but also effectively prevent the spread of post-disaster epidemics and protect the public health and safety of the disaster area.

(III) Multifunctional Transformation of Container Houses: Adapting to All Rescue Scenarios

In addition to basic accommodation, we will also carry out multifunctional transformation of container houses according to rescue needs to adapt to various emergency scenarios in the disaster area:

1. Temporary Medical Point: Equipped with simple hospital beds and first-aid equipment, it creates a mobile "life station" so that injured people can get timely treatment;

2. Rescue Command Center: Equipped with communication and office equipment, it becomes an efficient "command center" to coordinate and promote rescue work;

3. Material Warehouse: Using its sealed and moisture-proof characteristics, it properly stores food, medicine, rescue equipment and other materials, avoiding moisture and damage of materials, and providing solid guarantee for rescue work.

II. Transitional Resettlement Period: Long-Term Guarantee, Our Products Are the Support for "Stable Life"

After the end of emergency rescue, the disaster area will enter a long transitional resettlement period (usually 3-24 months). At this time, the people's demand is no longer "having a place to live", but "living stably and comfortably". Our products will also be upgraded accordingly to build "temporary homes" for the people and help them gradually return to normal life.

(I) Container Houses and Prefabricated Houses: Upgrading the Quality of "Temporary Homes"

In response to the core needs of transitional resettlement, we will comprehensively upgrade and optimize container houses and prefabricated houses to make people live more stably and comfortably:

- Thermal Insulation Upgrade: Add professional thermal insulation layers to resist both summer high temperatures and winter cold, adapting to the climate environment of different disaster areas;

- Sealing and Waterproofing Upgrade: Improve the sealing design to eliminate water leakage and air leakage, avoiding affecting the living experience due to weather;

- Living Supporting Upgrade: Equip with independent kitchens, bathrooms, air conditioners and water heaters, making the people's living experience close to that of permanent housing, relieving the post-disaster psychological pressure and gradually regaining a sense of belonging to life.

Many transitional resettlement areas in disaster areas are formed by splicing our container houses and prefabricated houses, forming neat courtyards and streets, with simple public activity areas, so that people can feel the warmth of home in the temporary home.

Mobile toilets will also be upgraded simultaneously, adding washstands and ventilation systems, and arranging personnel to maintain and clean them regularly to ensure hygiene conditions; at the same time, we will also match mobile shower rooms to solve the people's washing needs and make the transitional life more quality.

(II) Product Flexibility: Reducing Reconstruction Costs and Realizing Recycling

More importantly, the flexibility advantage of container houses and prefabricated houses is fully reflected in the transitional resettlement period. When the permanent resettlement houses are completed and the people move smoothly, these products do not need to be discarded, but can be hoisted and moved as a whole, and converted into construction site offices, community service stations, warehouses, etc.

Its reuse times can reach more than 5 times, which not only reduces resource waste, but also lowers the overall cost of post-disaster reconstruction, truly realizing "one investment, multiple uses" and practicing the concept of green reconstruction.

III. Permanent Reconstruction Stage: Supporting Supplementary, Our Products Are the Power for "Efficient Advancement"

In the process of permanent reconstruction, our products still play an important role, becoming the "supporting pioneer" of permanent reconstruction, filling the gaps in infrastructure and public services, and gaining time and creating conditions for the construction of permanent buildings.

(I) Temporary Public Service Facilities: Ensuring Uninterrupted People's Livelihood

The construction cycle of permanent buildings is long. To avoid the interruption of people's livelihood services, we will use container houses and prefabricated houses to quickly build various temporary public service facilities to fill the service gaps:

- Temporary Schools: Build simple classrooms and equip with basic teaching equipment, so that children in the disaster area can return to school as soon as possible without delaying their studies;

- Temporary Health Centers: Set up diagnosis and treatment areas and pharmacies, and arrange medical staff on duty to ensure the basic medical needs of the people and solve the problem of "difficulty in seeing a doctor";

- Temporary Party and Mass Service Centers: Handle various government affairs for the people and provide living assistance, building a bridge of communication between the government and the people.

(II) Infrastructure Supplementary: Assisting the Advancement of Permanent Reconstruction

Post-disaster infrastructure is severely damaged, and power supply, water supply, transportation and other aspects are affected. Our products can quickly supplement to escort the permanent reconstruction project:

- Temporary Power Distribution Rooms and Water Pump Rooms: Transform container into temporary power distribution rooms and water pump rooms to quickly restore the power and water supply in the disaster area, ensuring the basic living and construction needs of the people;

- Construction Supporting Services: Provide mobile toilets, mobile shower rooms and other supporting facilities for construction workers at the permanent reconstruction site, solving the basic living needs of construction workers and ensuring the smooth progress of the project.

(III) Low-Cost Permanent Housing: Adapting to the Needs of Special Disaster Areas

For some areas with complex terrain, inconvenient transportation and long reconstruction cycles (such as mountainous areas and remote disaster areas), our container houses can also be used as "low-cost permanent housing".

After professional transformation, container houses can meet the standards of permanent residence. They not only have strong earthquake and disaster resistance, but also have controllable cost and short construction period. They can not only quickly solve the housing gap of the people, but also adapt to the special environment of the disaster area, becoming an important supplement to permanent reconstruction and allowing the people to have a stable home as soon as possible.

In Conclusion: Every Product Carries a Responsibility and Hope

Many people think that container houses, prefabricated houses and mobile toilets are just "temporary buildings" and not worth mentioning. But only we know that in every stage of post-disaster reconstruction, these seemingly ordinary products carry the hope of the affected people and the responsibility of our industry.

We do not produce high-rise buildings, but we can quickly build safe shelters when the disaster area needs it most; we do not participate in the construction of permanent buildings, but we can escort the permanent reconstruction, using flexible, efficient and practical products to solve the urgent needs of the disaster area.

Post-disaster reconstruction has a long way to go. In the future, we will continue to deepen product research and development and optimize service processes, so that container houses, prefabricated houses, mobile toilets and other products can better adapt to the needs of the disaster area. With professionalism and speed, we will hold up a sky of hope for every post-disaster reconstruction, guard every "temporary home", and help the disaster area regain vitality as soon as possible.
