Natatural disasters are a tragic interruption to the development process. Lives are lost; social networks are disrupted; and capital investments are destroyed. and when development plans are laid and disaster strikes, development funds are diverted to the emergency. Additional aid is directed to relief and reconstruction needs to get the country “back on track” toward economic and social development. Wood products can be used to construct rapidly buildings for immediate relief to the disaster victims for shelters. Wood can never be replaced in its entirety. Materials ofrenewable resources can provide additional benefitsfor sustainable product developments. Lignocelluosic natural fibres exhibit properties like biodegradability, recyclability either by composting or by incineration, desirable to be considered as characteristics of sustainable materials. to overcome the depletion in the forest resource it is necessary to find a substitute for wood/wood products. Coir composite products can be usedfor rapid building construction reliefto the disaster victims by way of shelters.
