Green Rapid Response Shelters

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Reaction Housing System Responds Quickly to Any Emergency

— August 24, 2011 — Eco
With the Reaction Housing System, you can now rest assured that in the event of any natural disaster -- be it an earthquake, a hurricane or a wildfire -- your family will be safe.

The Reaction Housing System is an emergency response system based on portable emergency housing units and accessories that can meet a family's needs -- or that of an entire population -- when disaster strikes. Called Exos, the housing units are climate-controlled, private living areas for individual families that have electrical power and can be configured in numerous ways to meet specific needs. In fact, a team of four can set up one Exo in less than 2 minutes!

The Exos comprise a base and an upper shell, can be stored and packed away and are transportable (a cargo truck can carry about 15 at a time). What's more, the Exos are recyclable and eco-friendly as they use LEDs and are PVC- and formaldehyde-free.
