After the deadly “512″ earthquake, a couple of companies are thinking innovatively about rescuing solutions to natural disasters, which are also applible to emergent situations in other countries.
The idea that Hands-on-Chengdu program contributes is to build temporary rescuing villages with 4-6 containers, which are supposed to be strong, sturdy, safe, easy to move and fit out and provide other support facilities.
Having wrapped up the first phase of field work and planning, the project team has proposed an initial model(see pictures below). It is a place where people of affected area can reside, entertain, take medical treatment, study and so on so forth.
Primarily being a volunteering program, Hands-on-Chengdu calls for participation of more enterprises and individuals in rebuilding the affected area. The sum of domestic and international donations is huge after the earthquake. In that sense, it will be a good chance for brand-building and promotion in the process to set up the on-the-go communities.
The Program is now partnered with Shanghai Based SMC ALSOP and supported by Arup, REF and ACL.
