Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 A life insurance tax shelter uses investments in life insurance to protect income or assets from tax liabilities. Life insurance proceeds are not taxable in many jurisdiction s. Since most other forms of income are taxable such as capital gains , dividend s and interest income , consumers are often advised to purchase life insurance policies to either offset future tax liabilities, or to shelter the growth of their investments from taxation. Life insurance to cover future taxes In those jurisdictions where life insurance proceeds are only tax free at death, tax liabilities that come due at death are often offset by a policy of the same size. Since the mathematics required to compare different strategies is quite complex, most consumers defer to an accountant or life insurance agent for advice. However, there is often vast differences of opinion between these professionals, even given the same starting conditions. This should not be surprising, given the huge future differences that even small variances in starting conditions can make. For example, assume that an individual is likely to owe 100,000.00 in taxes at death. If a permanent life insurance policy with a 100,000.00 death benefit costs 1,000 per year remaining level for life , and the life expectancy of the person is 30 years, then the following events could occur. The individual could die early. In this case, it is unlikely that any alternative investment of the 1000 per year would have yielded the required 100,000.00 at death.

Transitional shelter is any of a range of shelter options that help a person or population displaced by conflict or natural disaster until they return to permanent accommodation. This relatively new terminology arose to fill a conceptual gap in traditional refugee camp disaster responses, which left populations living often for many years in decrepit emergency shelter . There is debate however on the cost effectiveness of this type of shelter solution because of repeated costs incurred with delivering first tarps, then tents, then transitional shelter, then permanent housing. Several organizations have developed a shelter solution that deploys at the same time a tent usually deploys, however the shelter itself transitions through the various phases of recovery and stays with the recipient. This type of transitional shelter reduces the costs of redeployment and provides security from the very onset of the disaster. Transitional shelter, in its fullest sense, is a strategy which seeks to support communities back to permanent accommodation, minimising displacement, and taking into account town planning , sanitation , land tenure , human rights , neighbouring populations, the local economy, security, and cultural factors. Refugee camp s are considered as one of a range of options, including use of host families, self settlement, and cash donations for building materials. In the narrower sense, a transitional shelter is a structure in which usually a family can live, with dignity, for as long as their permanent accommodation takes to build or restore. Ideally it will be built from local materials according to local methods, and be adaptable to climate and culture. It will be located adjacent to the destroyed accommodation, and can be disassembled and the materials reused or resold.

Types of shelter Different kinds of bomb shelters are configured to protect against different kinds of attack and strengths of hostile explosives. For example, an Air raid shelter is a structure built to protect against bomber planes dropping bombs over a large area. These were commonly seen during World War II . A fallout shelter is a shelter designed specifically for a nuclear war , with thick walls made from materials intended to block the radiation from nuclear fallout fallout resulting from a nuclear explosion . Many such shelters were constructed as civil defense measures during the Cold War . A blast shelter protects against more conventional bomb blasts. Its main purpose is to protect from shock wave s and overpressure . While these forms of bomb shelters are equally amenable to civilian and military use, a bunker is more commonly associated with military use. A bunker may be hastily assembled as part of an ongoing military advance, or to hold a line. It was used during World War II .

Ref improve section date February 2011 Emergency shelters are places for people to live temporarily when they can t live in their previous residence, similar to homeless shelter s. The main difference is that an emergency shelter typically specializes in people fleeing a specific type of situation, such as natural or man made disasters , domestic violence , or victims of sexual abuse . A more minor difference is that people staying in emergency shelters are more likely to stay all day, except for work, school, or errands, while homeless shelters usually expect people to stay elsewhere during the day, returning only to sleep or eat. Emergency shelters sometimes facilitate support group s, and or provide meals. Post disaster emergency shelter is often provided by organisations like the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Red Cross and Red Crescent , UNHCR or governmental emergency management departments, in response to natural disasters, such as a flood or earthquake . They tend to use tent s or other temporary structures, or buildings normally used for another purpose, such as a Church building church or school . These settlements may be inhabited for the entire duration of the reconstruction process and should be thought of more as settlements than shelter, and need to be planned with respect to water sanitation, livelihoods. A newer category of emergency shelter is the warming center . Warming centers typically open during particularly cold or rainy nights. They are available to persons who decline to accept homeless shelters, are not allowed to use homeless shelters, or are not homeless but have inadequate or malfunctioning heat in their homes.
