Disaster Relief Solutions

The Gilayo® Disaster Relief Solution offers flexible, scalable shelter units designed to provide immediate protection and privacy in the aftermath of a disaster. With configurable layouts, solid roofs and floors, and movable partitions, these modules can accommodate individuals, families, or larger groups, ensuring comfort and security, based on square footage.


A preliminary model of deployment would transform a football stadium into a shelter, providing nearly 60,000 square feet of adaptable living space, with access to facilities. Average cost per square foot is $45 and virtually NO impact to the field. (Cost may be reduced based on production efficiency.)


The solution can be fully assembled within 48 hours of a disaster and is designed for easy construction by both professional builders, volunteers and local communities, ensuring rapid and effective disaster response.


The units can then be removed, easily stored and re-used for future disaster needs.

What Industry Experts are Saying

"John and Gil are brilliant! 3/4 of the global population - set aside a disaster - would have the upgrade of a lifetime with this modular structure system. It's the most elegantly simple design I've ever seen - with the broadest application of anything I can think of - it's genius! This is a boundless contribution to all humanity!"
