The monsoon of 2010 led to one of the largest human displacement and loss of housing in the history of modern humanitarian affairs. Over 1.5 million houses were damaged or destroyed and approximately 11 million individuals either lost their home or experienced some level of damage and loss.
In order to capitalize this experience and the knowledge shared and discussed within the Shelter Cluster since 2010, IOM compiled strategic documents and technical guidelines into this compendium, with the objective to facilitate access to reference documents. This document may be used as a reference in the elaboration of new Shelter Cluster documents, as well as provide guidance to the shelter practitioners operating in flood responses in Pakistan.
