Innovative ideas for Disaster Relief, the Digital Age

What if an unmanned robot that looks like a distant cousin of Optimus Prime can respond to the destruction of the nuclear plant, reducing the number of human lives lost? Imagine all the fields of emergency response vehicles that can be shifted from the ultra-fast two-seaters for a truck full of valuable equipment in a few minutes, and prefabricated shelters that can connect to the outside of the damaged skyscraper with the help of helicopters. Is this the future of disaster relief? These 13 concepts are very creative inspire hope for the way in which we can deal with disasters as technology advances.

Emergency Shelter Digital Origami
Lava Design firm basis of this concept to an emergency shelter. Each unit houses There Beds Adults and children-Children, In Room This is no place to eat and read. At night, illuminated by the shelter of an LED lamp

Emergency shelter prefabricated by Shradha Bhandari 
 
Very flexible and independent, fractal structure of the concept of prefabricated emergency shelters by Shradha Bhandari allowed to adjust to nearly landscape, fitting in between the trees or stuck on uneven terrain. This includes openings for light and air, and the sloping roof panel that allows both the installation of solar panels and rainwater collection, which will be distributed to the underground

Healing, Idea by Adrian Candela 
 Healing bench seat converts from backpack to Operation, Even In The Bag There are blankets and health kits so that emergency workers can carry the essential tools for disaster sites. made with the same materials and construction make it more resistant Decent

A house that can be Fold 
 
We do not tend to think of cardboard as a waterproof, fire resistant or particularly strong - so it is not possible for the housing disaster. However, designers Tine Hovsepian has found a way to challenge these assumptions by Cardborigami, corrugated cardboard structures that have been scored so it can be folded flat or expand the shelter. While very basic, it is intended as a temporary place to sleep until the conditions for a better place to live that are available.

Self-Contained Mobile Emergency Unit 
 
One of the biggest challenges for emergency responders is the lack of water and electricity. The EDV-01 solves that problem by collecting up to 20 liters of drinking water from the air each day - enough for two adults to live. A rooftop solar systems and fuel cells generate electricity for each unit. Even more impressive is the fact that these stainless steel containers do not require on-site construction in all, a hydraulic pump up the wall to form the second floor with a flip of the switch. Four hydraulic legs allow it to sit on uneven terrain.

A.N.T. Disaster Response With a Vehicle 
 
Inspired by the ability of ants to carry 10-50 times their own body weight across vast distances quickly, ANT - [Assistance Needs Transporter] - could help the United Nations and other organizations to reach the remote disaster locations. Three-wheeled vehicle ground clearance can be adjusted either for speed or rough terrain, and a pod of small passenger lift to accommodate large loads.

Reaction Housing System - Rapid Response Shelter 
 
Made from pre-fabricated compact unit called Exos, Housing System can be assembled into the room interconnected and costs only $ 5,000 per unit, far less than many other solutions similar disaster housing. Four times against the wall when not in use the bed, and there are four outlets for electronic-powered generators. Exos 20 flat-pack can fit on a single trailer 53 foot semi-truck and 1940 can be transported through one of the freight train to provide housing for 7760 people impressive.

RISE: Post-Disaster Shelter parasite
 If natural disasters are very dense urban areas with very little land space - such as, for example, Sao Paulo, the most populous city in America - an emergency shelter standards may not be much help. This innovative design by Mike Reyes actually hook a new living space to the existing temporary high-rise structures. The units will be flown by helicopter and, with the help of a victim in a skyscraper, kept safely by the forces that create the exterior walls of buildings. Each unit contains 4 beds, tables, skylights, windows, and pure water funnel and the option for solar cells. They even have an outdoor patio that allows the units to connect neighbors.

Shipping Crate Medical Complex
 
Been providing care in Haiti, Containers to Clinics could represent the future in economic, easy-to-deploy complex lifesaving medical disaster victims. Two separate shipping containers to make a full-service clinic with examination rooms and laboratories, while the 8 'by 20' box, of course, easily transported by ship.

Shipping Container Housing Emergency 
 
Another concept that uses container-shipping is the SEED, a project of researchers at Clemson University in South Carolina that aims to provide safe housing for disaster victims as quickly as possible. Shipping containers are naturally resistant to earthquakes and is suitable as a long-term housing, making them an ideal solution for seismic activity in the Caribbean countries as poor as Haiti where the victim may not be able to afford to rebuild.

Bull Frog: Medical Supplies to Medan Anything Mobile 
 
This seemingly simple doctor helps bring vital medical supplies to disaster areas, even in rough terrain, allowing the victim to sit on the bench while being treated. This clinic-to-go can make an emergency responders work easier and more efficient, and it seems as if the will is quite economical to produce.

GSR Robot Disaster 
Like something out of Transformers, Robot Disaster Relief GSR is by far the most futuristic concept in this list. Designers Daniel Shankland II envisioned a towering machine that can enter hazardous situations to help disaster victims without placing at risk of disaster responders. Imagine life like creations can be saved if it is deployed, for example, for failing Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan after the tsunami.
