This paper explores emergency shelter and collective sheltering solutions in rural areas of PNG when IOM has been working in collaboration with the National Disaster Centre (NDC) and Provincial Disaster Centres (PDCs) to develop Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) strategies for communities across 5 provinces. It also investigates the challenges and risks associated with emergency collective centres / evacuation centres in the immediate aftermath of natural disasters and provides a list of recommendations and key messages on design features based on shelter assessments and outcomes from community-based participatory safe shelter awareness workshops.
