3.13 Form "Shelter_Settlement_NonFood_Assessment"

These forms are based on a needs assessment checklist that is part of the Sphere Project's "Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response" handbook. Specifically, the forms are based on a needs assessment checklist in Appendix 1 of "Chapter 4: Minimum Standards in Shelter, Settlement and Non-Food Items". Some of the more complicated questions have been broken down into simpler questions to help produce more specific responses in the form. For more information about the sphere model, please visit: "http://www.sphereproject.org". The Project35 team hopes that NGO and relief aid workers feel encouraged to use the software to help make electronically stored assessments about disaster response. Please tell us what you think about it!
