Shelter After Disaster: update

Key conclusions from Shelter Meeting 09a

Key recommended changes:

•Change the language to make the guidelines more project manager oriented and less coordinator oriented

•Restructure the guidelines so that an 80-100 page key guidance section sits at the front of the guidelines

•Adapt the guidelines to be relevant for small disasters (90% of all disasters) as well as large disasters
