Problems solved by technology

When disaster occurs, a large number of people are affected in a very short period of time.

Because of the extreme population density, trained professional or volunteer first responders can quickly become overwhelmed by the demand for assistance.

Individuals caught in such a disastrous situation may be experience personal injury conditions ranging from severe to none.

Typically, after the immediate cause of alarm has been contained or neutralized, local services for the support of human life can be severely compromised due to destruction of facilities and / or depletion of supplies.

Use of much of that equipment is beyond the ability of the ordinary person to manipulate to aid themselves or others.

A basic problem with existing emergency kits is that the more fully stocked ones are big, bulky and heavy.

Thus they are difficult to carry around.

While accidents and injuries occur at home, threats of disaster and terrorist activity is thought to be more likely to occur when a person is away from home, for example, while traveling.
