Safe shelter

Awareness on safe shelter construction

The effects of natural hazards and extreme weather conditions on local communities include the destruction of shelter and population displacement.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) was recently able to enhance the preparedness capacity of 114 women and 112 men through trainings on participatory awareness on safe shelter construction (build back safer).
