What is a shelter?

A shelter is a place that covers, protects, and provides safety. People need shelters to shield them from extremes of cold and heat, as well as from rain, snow, and wind.

The first shelters made by human beings were made of animal hides, stones, straw, vines, or wood. Today, we construct our shelters from a wide variety of materials such as wood and brick, steel and concrete, aluminum, glass, and plastic. The types of shelters people build depend mainly on the climate, the materials that are available, and their intended use.
