I am looking for sources of information, preferably already printed
documents, brochures, or manuals, on post cyclone/hurricane reconstruction
of schools, clinics and housing to make these structures more resistant to
future damage.
The area of interest is the recent cyclone-affected areas of Mozambique.
Damage was mostly from wind, although (as in other parts of Mozambique)
flooding was also an important cause of damage in some areas. Construction
methods are basic. Schools and clinics have zinc roofs and cement block
walls. Housing ranges from mud walls and thatch roofs to zinc and cement
block construction.
I am particularly interested in literature in Spanish, which can be easily
translated into Portuguese for local use, but references to any appropriate
literature would be appreciated.
