    The document discusses emergency housing and describes several key terms related to modular and prefabricated housing construction. It defines terms like large-scale, modular, prefabrication, concurrently, ready to use, assemble, warehouse, mobile, vital, simultaneously, storehouse, partition, and portable that are important for understanding how to quickly construct emergency housing from pre-built modular units. The goal is to be able to rapidly erect housing from standardized, prefabricated parts that can be built and stored concurrently and then assembled and erected simultaneously on-site when and where emergency housing is needed.
