Abstract: |
The project features adaptive shelters for immediate deployment in post-flood scenarios. Current model of relief shelters are not able to stand the harsh and unpredictable climatic conditions within relief sites. The shelter adapts according to these changing conditions like gale, thunderstorm, rainstorm. Additionally, living essentials built within the shelter provides higher value at low cost. |
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
The local market currently lacks options in terms of quick deployment shelters that provide adequate features for safe living in post-flood scenarios. While solutions are present in the global market, they are not commercially viable due to their high cost. |
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
Due to worsening climate conditions globally, heavy floods such as the one in 2022 are expected in the southern areas of Pakistan. The product will be extremely beneficial to users in these areas. |
How will the solution works |
The shelter incorporates concepts of compact packaging and modularity for efficient space usage and allocation. Additionally, the principles of buoyancy and enduring materials have been incorporated to ensure the shelters ability to withstand harsh conditions and raised water levels on site. |
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
The only competitors within the market are local tent manufacturers which do not provide significant value apparent from shelter. |
