hurricane housing

Rick has an idea, to help with rebuil­ding after the hurri­cane:

Gene­sis can create pane­li­zed kits which are com­plete light steel buil­dings deli­ve­red to buil­ding sites for assembly. Our invest­ment cen­ters around the ama­zing (at least to me) tech­no­logy which makes all this pos­si­ble. The faci­lity where we crank out the buil­dings is, in effect, our lab and reve­nue to con­ti­nue buil­ding out the sys­tems which we believe are key to a great invest­ment.
What all that means is we have a faci­lity that can turn out homes, elder care faci­li­ties, condo pro­jects, apart­ment buil­dings, churches, strip malls, etc, that are rated to withs­tand 160mph wind, in effect a Cat 4 hurri­cane. They are cost com­pa­ra­ble to wood, will go up fast and will stay up.
In light of all the towns that are not in the press spot­light and seeing relief trucks flying by, we thought it would be a great idea to try and go in to help rebuild some homes. Donate some homes, in kits, that can replace the struc­tu­res which were des­tro­yed. Maybe homes, maybe a senior care faci­lity, small town heath cli­nic, etc. The point is that we will donate a bunch of this to try and help.

And he’s asking for our help:

    Some­ti­mes I think it’s only Hugh out there who unders­tands what it means to be down. His spe­cialty of down is the unjus­ti­fiably down, the type of down that does not point to an exter­nal cataclys­mic event. There is the…

    My aunt and uncle live near Pica­yune, MS (north of Sli­dell) which got pretty ham­me­red. I’ve been chec­king out the Sli­dell damage blog regu­larly, also Jon Bar­low at Bar­low Farms (http://www.barlowfarms.com) has blog­ged about damage north of New Orleans. It’s been hard to get use­ful info about how things really are up there.
