24. Its interesting based on your perception of climate
When i think of someone becoming storm-homeless here in north
scotland, i'm thinking.. 200mph winds, a fire, an explosion,
or a radiation leak... and in most all cases, the housing requirement
would need withstand 100mph winds. Tents are not realistic.

Its a worldwide problem this, the need to create a temporary city of
civil accomodation in the shortest time possible. Were that that be an
olympic event for civilization olympics... instead of a 100meter run, it
would be builidng a 5 star hospital in a poor country., creating a
temporary city for 50,000 people in 1 day on the other side of the
planet. Then considering nordic as well as southern climates, needs
a transportable shelter to as well be self-drying, so in case of extreme
flooding or wetness, the stock survives it impeccably.

I think we've simply not approached disaster preparedness given our
new "star trek" world, and what could be possible given what technology
we've deployed in space for peets sake. You'd think that a nation intent
on probing the outer planets could create a perfect market of commoditized
public goods markets that balance out the footprint of humankind with
the reality, that the system become economically self regulating. The
tragedy of a future of overpolluted overpopulated fucked up planet, is
within our grasp to sort out today if we get the public goods markets
pricing the wholistic equation.

/ramble off

For an optimist there is so much to hope for, and for a pessimist, tragedy
of war sort outs whats worth dying for.

/really ramble off :-)
