Aquapack Early Survival Kit for Flooded Areas

Survivor Rescue and First Aid Kit

Flood survivors lack access to basic requirements such as food, clean water, medical care, and shelter. In addition, due to the geographical impacts of the event and bad weather, rescue missions to locate and secure survivors may take days, increasing the number of casualties. AquaPack is unique in providing water purification and radio telemetry to communicate the survivor's location with the rescue team, a first-aid kit, and a thermal emergency blanket. Additionally, it floats on water and is equipped with a carrying strap to prevent loss.

JURY STATEMENT

This project implements simple and intuitive solutions for multiple extreme scenarios, identifying common issues in different weather conditions (flooding, severe hot/cold weather, sterile areas, etc.). The emergency kits are simple enough to be operated with minimal effort.

WINNER STATEMENT

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the jury, my mentor, and everyone who supported me throughout this project. I hope that this recognition draws more attention to rapid global warming and encourages us to seek solutions for both adaptation and prevention.
