paramount in our bi-laws set forth, most important is: “of all monies raised only 10% will ever be used for administrative fees”.

we are on a campaign to raise $1.5 million to be able to donate 50 of rapidmodular.com’s low-cost, solar-powered micro housing kits to give to those who lost everything and have no insurance to rebuild.

we will not wait on fema to do it all.

first of all–it is not a well know fact–that it is not all fema’s responsibility to rebuild entire towns and cities. these are not man made events, like oil explosions or spills in the water.
so fema’s role is different in that it does not have some big corporation to dole out the lion’s share of the costs.
we the tax payers are sharing the burden.

the government agency is only supposed to help with the disaster relief effort. but over the years no matter what name the government gives the group that helps during tragedy, it is
not enough. too big, too many disasters and in a time of cuts,
well you understand. too bureaucratic.

we as a society and a people must rise up and help our fellow countrymen…

we would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the fastest and best service in the industry.
the panels to build the structures is scalable to any need… schools, hospitals, apartments, commercial and industrial applications abound.

solar micro housing kits for disaster relief //www.getitdoneaz.com/story/solar-micro-housing-kits-for-disaster-relief/ mon, 13 jun 2011 13:28:11 +0000 http://dpetrov.2create.studio/planet/wordpress/solar-micro-housing-kits-for-disaster-relief/ envision solar seeks to provide low-cost, solar-powered micro housing to victims of natural disasters. can factory-made homes accelerate the rebuilding process in devastated communities?

envision solar has formed a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, environmental prototype homes of tomorrow, inc., to provide low-cost, solar-powered micro-housing for disaster relief. at first i was going for haiti and japan. then in the last 2 months the need arose for the tornado-ravaged us. so we must start at home first. first is tuscaloosa, alabama, followed by joplin, missouri, and finally massachusetts. we have sent fema full packages of homes to no avail — not even a return email to acknowledge our efforts. so we must appeal to the private sector. we cannot stand by and wait on fema to get it down, we must take matters into our own hands.

fema’s role in advancing sustainable, affordable housing options //www.getitdoneaz.com/story/femas-role-in-advancing-sustainable-affordable-housing-options/ thu, 21 oct 2010 20:44:01 +0000 http://dpetrov.2create.studio/planet/wordpress/femas-role-in-advancing-sustainable-affordable-housing-options/ experts speaking on capitol hill about the state of post-disaster, interim housing provided by the federal emergency management agency (fema), and opportunities to improve the quality and value of this housing. after hurricane katrina, fema updated its interim-housing procurement specifications to reduce formaldehyde levels in trailer interiors. but there are other criteria that fema could also specify, including improved energy efficiency, durability, resilience, accessibility, indoor air quality, and life-cycle cost. more information is available at http://www.eesi.org/ 092810_fema
