Incorporating a post-delivery functionality into the intended product that will deliver food rations will enable users to become more aware of the imminent threats of disasters.

The addition of solar panels will allow the product to be visible even if relief operations are carried out at night. It will be water-proof and buoyant as well, aiding in the recovery of lost belongings.

The cardboard boxes manufacturing industry will be taken as a competitor as they provide readily available boxes that serve the purpose of delivery in large quantities
