Following a disaster, the Agency for International Development (AID) is often called upon to assist in reconstruction activities by helping to provide new, replacement housing for some low income disaster victims. Such victims will not only have suffered the loss of a building, but may also have lost their land, or access to it, as a result of the disaster or from circumstances arising from the disaster. Thus AID may be asked to assist these victims by helping to provide safe sites that meet transitional needs and provide a base for permanent reconstruction housing. This manual has its origins in the felt need within AID to organize the initial AID response to such requests
