relief camps
Disaster survivor settlements
Relief camps are temporary facilities established to shelter and provide basic necessities to people displaced by disaster, war, or economic crisis.
The term often carries historical weight—in Canada, it refers specifically to Depression-era work camps for unemployed men, while elsewhere it may describe refugee settlements or emergency housing after natural disasters: Thousands fled to relief camps after the earthquake.
