Hurricane Damaged Shelter Recovery Proposal Method for British Virgin /Caribbean Islands / Usa with little or no budget
Method
1. Collect wood that is plentiful due to fallen trees / joists / stick frames
2. Sort or cut wood into 50mm /70 / 140mm thick planks
3. paints planks with preservative
4. Clad & nail / screw planks inside galvanised drywall lining channel or purlins, salvaged from destroyed buildings
5.Drill holes in structurally sound brick walls, insert plastic walls plugs , glued in with injection resin or adhesives
6. Screw metal clad planks to wall, horizontally & vertically , so a 2.4 x1.2m sheet can be screwed to it
7 Fill insulation voids with plastic bottles filled with polystyrene or bubble wrap (or sand / soil / water if thermal mass / heavier wall weight required) .
8. Tape these bottles together with very strong fibre reinforced tape to add strength . while retaining insulation & flexibility
9. Screw sheets of MGO (Magnesium Oxide) fire board / corrugated grp / metal sheeting (or what wood sheet is available ) to the outside.

10. Battens composed of strips of plastic or treated wood could be added to outside of MGo board or corrugated grp / steel , before boards are screwed in place.
11. If a stand alone structure is required, a hexayurt like our prototype can be built using a method similar to the above.
If funds are available, fire resisant foam is preferable as insulation. it can be made into sips panels with Mgo board
