Yes it can be done, is easy, is quick, is cheap and could make all of Haiti safe in only a few months, not years.
How you ask?
The miracle of a World Wide Glut of very low cost, Ultra Strong. used, Steel Shipping Containers.
They can be lived in the minute they are st down. Work like cutting in windows can be done by the local population. Steel cut outs can and should be used as awnings and storm Shutters for the new openings made.
Use oh HOH water gas steel cutting torches can make cutting almost like hot knife and butter. these gas torch generators can be power by Solar Voltage or any other AC or DC power source .
What about the heat in Haiti ?
The tin roofed shanties many now live in can be re-purposed as Secondary sun blocking roofs and shading sides. Yes these will be blow away in major storm but those inside will still be safe and pieces can be reworked and reused again afterwards.
What about getting them from Sea Ports to so mmany places with poor to almost no roads.
US Army / Navy / Air Force and Marines have the heavy lifting helicopters to do the job and massive corps of Engineering groups to make or remake the roads. I know from first hand experience in Vietnam in the 1960's.
Yes it can be done, yes it is cheap.
Yes it is a long term solution that can if one wishes also create some combined beautiful buildings too.
Simple things like a few hundred watt solar panel for each house could come later.
Haiti and Africa already have experience in simple things like Soda Bottle Sun Light tubes in roofs to give good daylight lighting inside for near Zero cost.
Well why not lets do it?
