  1. 1997-2007 Frames, success and missed opportunities

  2. 1997 The impact of typhoon Linda resulted in 4,502 people dead or missing. This was the highest number of losses caused by a typhoon in decades. 133,000 houses were seriously damagedThe Red Cross distributed building material to address the needs

  3. Lesson learned The distribution of building materials alone does not contribute to sustainable recovery. Obvious but what alternatives do you have.

  4. Central Vietnam 1998 : 11 provinces affected, 11.000 houses destroyed 1999 : 7 provinces affected, 42.000 houses destroyed

  5. Destructions

  6. The Objective Develop and supply houses that can resist the climate conditions of Central Vietnam Over the past decade, Vietnam has emerged from years of poverty. Among the many changes, a tangible change has been the increase in private expenditure in housing and small-scale rural infrastructure. Families have rebuilt a vast percentage of rural housing in recent years to replace previous thatch and bamboo houses. Regrettably, this investment in new homes has not been matched by a parallel increase in their resistance to the effects of floods and storms. This weakness is largely because storm-resistant building details have been neglected. Quote from Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre

  7. 1998, first prototype • Choices of material • Respect building principles • Respect housing customs

  8. customized

  9. Two designs One model for non flooding areas One model for flooding areas

  10. customized

  11. HOUSING PROGRAM IN THE MEKONG DELTA June 2001

  12. A structure on poles Solution : A flood resistant structure on poles and a typhoon resistant roof • The frame kit is made of galvanised steel, a material that has a strong resistance against corrosion. • The parts of the platform, house structure and roofing are assembled with bolds and nuts to facilitate quick and easy building. • The roofing sheets are fixed to the structure with a special attachement technic The roof can resist wind presure up to 125kg/m2. • For an optimal stability of the structure: The house frame and roof are braced, the platform is reenforced.

  13. Example of houses

  14. 2006 Banda Aceh, Tsunami Program First prototype - Erected the 6 November - Presented the 14 November - 20 000 units order - 5 000 units in delivery process - 15 implementing partners

  15. What can we Learn • Emergency Transitional Permanent ??? • Can we adapt to the way people build and maintain standards at the same time ??? • Could this approach provide people collateral for loans/Insurances ??? • (And could it be part of an overall mitigation strategy)

  16. Can we combine Hardware and Soft Loans 1 Stronger community program FEMA Project Impact provided loans for risk reducing in construction. 2 Rabo Bank and Red Cross Project vision: linking disaster risk reduction, climate change, and micro finance in Indonesia
