CR2 – Disasters | Emergencies | Humanitarian

When Disaster or Emergencies Strike

Disaster or Emergencies take multiple forms. They can form rapidly (e.g., natural disaster, wildfire, tsunami, earthquake, weather-related events, accidents, crime, rapid onset illness) or over the course of time (individuals or families falling on hard times for a variety of reasons). There are multiple possible causes, reasons, and situations: we have only listed a few areas.

They share one element in common: people are suffering.

From rebuilding communities to longer-term community planning for individuals to cities, Reimagine–Rethink–Community (CR2) offers concepts and innovation for your consideration.

Content for difficult challenges is under consideration but not yet available.

  • Tiny house villages for the Unhoused, those with less means, and those starting out.
  • Seniors Villages for those facing challenges with Affordable Housing
  • Places of refuge for those encountering significant displacement challenges. War, abuse, wildfires, famine, earthquakes, weather events.
