Sec. 73

73 Shelter and accommodation: (1) The provision of shelter and accommodation is for people who have to leave their homes as a result of an emergency (displaced people). (2) This sub-function is divided into the following categories: (a) shelter, provided, usually in a communal facility (possibly, but not necessarily, a pre-designated civil defence centre), for only a few days to protect displaced people from the elements and danger (some basic welfare services may be provided at the facility); and (b) emergency accommodation, provided to displaced people who cannot return to their homes for short periods, generally only a few days and not more than about 2 weeks; and (c) temporary accommodation, provided to displaced people who cannot return to their homes for a prolonged period (generally several weeks, months, or, possibly, years).
