Dymaxion Emergency Shelter presented to the Mexican Red Cross

The Buckminster Fuller Institute has successfully sponsored an emergency shelter pilot project, which placed 20 Dymax Emergency Shelters in the hands of International Medical Corps (IMC) for supply shelters for use as medical clinics in the Iraqi border region. The shelters will be used by IMC for urgent medical care, surgeries, emergency vaccination campaigns and the delivery of supplemental food and clean water to protect against the effects of malnutrition and diarrhea related diseases.

An additional 5 shelters were given to the Mexican Red Cross who first expressed interest in January when the magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit Colima.

This project was made possible through the generous donations of Ted Zeigler, Jim McGreen and Nancy Cadigan! Thank you!
