Quite a lot. The shelters must go up fast, withstand high winds. Should be tall enough to stand up in and have insulation from the heat.
Here is a series of UTOOB videos showing Constuction and erection of these shelters. All would apply in a disaster situation.

Dunno
Burning Man has quite the sharing community when it comes to shelter, cooking, gray water management etc. The festival has been around a long time.
Just thought the shelter stuff would be of interest to some folks here.
