STAR-TIDES is currently planning integrated approaches to the following four scenarios:
Sub-Sahara Africa
- family-sized solution set oriented towards hot, dry areas (solar
cooking, small solar panels, water pasteurization bags, One Laptop Per
Child computers, etc.)
Central America
- a camp-sized infrastructure for wet, tropical regions (water
purification units for 500-1,000 people, wind and solar power, disaster
management software, etc).
An Afghan-centric approach
(with heavy emphasis on what’s being done now in Nangarhar Province,
info sharing/sensemaking, links to San Diego State’s Visualization
Laboratory and the Fab Lab near Jalalabad, near-real-time delivery of
imagery and useful products without caveats to NGOs, and
shelter/water/power/etc solutions that are appropriate)
A US module
- based on a winter disaster scenario in the National Capital Region,
(DHS/FEMA/NORTHCOM response, use of the commercial supply chain,
empowering citizens, Resilience Networks, and more.)
