Abstract

Methods of providing a habitable community having usable habitation facilities, and electric and water utilities, including providing a community construction service pack and corresponding community construction services by which such service pack is rapidly installed at a location in need of such rapidly-built community. Such rapidly-built community may be used e.g. to meet the needs of a population suffering from a recent disaster and / or to meet the needs of a population in need of community facilities at a newly-to-be occupied site remote from human habitation and / or human habitation facilities. The invention thus is able to rapidly provide one or more limited-size functional communities on an urgent-need basis where each community initially has its own community local electric service system and its own community local water service, which may be functional even though local housing units may have been severely damaged or destroyed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The focus of this invention is to provide housing and utility infrastructure, both set-up services and ongoing operating services, to meet basic needs of discreet numbers of people whereby individual communities are set up and serviced, optionally proximate each other, optionally linking utility services.

[0002] More specifically, this invention relates to creating a habitable community, of limited and pre-determined size, having basic, optionally temporary, electric and water utility services, using modular habitation units as the living quarters, and using readily mass produced components to build the utility systems which provide the water and electric services.

[0003] There is a historic need for sturdy, relatively inexpensive, readily shippable, enclosed, human inhabitable shelters which may be used for a wide range of purposes, on a wide range of sites and in a wide range of environments; inhabitable shelters which can readily survive the rigors of...
