Submit Your Rapid Shelter Model
Adding a new rapid shelter model is easy, fast, and free. Submissions are welcomed from anyone, anywhere. We welcome new shelter solutions in their early conceptual/prototyping phase, in addition to models that have been used in prior situations, on-the-shelf, ready to go. Proposed structures can be for temporary or permanent uses - all must only meet the criteria of being able to be designed, built, and opened in 90 days or less.
