Scenario Planning

Posted Sun, 10/05/2008 - 22:52 by jcrowley

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.)
