These sheets could come on a long roll which would be dropped off by helicopter.

In their case, "temporary" accommodation was provided by using five reed mats (four walls, one roof). I'm not sure if a wooden frame was used too. Your idea seems simpler to put together and possible more draught proof. I’ve seen similar in Peruvian shanty towns.
