Can Steel Shipping Containers Solve Haiti's Need For Earthquake Proof Shelter?

And what is going to happen in Haiti if they get hit with a hurricane and 1,000,000 people are in makeshift tents? Consider that the shipping container is properly ventilated, so water deflecting holes must be made and is coated with a reflective surface to protect from sunlight

1. Have you ever been inside a shipping container in 100 degree weather? It might keep out the rain, but its not a shelter. That is a huge concern for people, if there isn't permanent housing before hurricane season. Before the hurricane many people lived in mud or palm leaf houses, and they're not safe in a hurricane. I know of people in Haiti that died that way. Haiti still has a lot of work ahead . . .
