A few illustrations using aspects we discussed as a team, to highlight the difference (permanent vs. temporary):

  1. distributing bottled water 🆚 capturing/purifying local water,
  2. distributing rations 🆚 refrigerating and sorting local food
  3. providing PPE 🆚 providing employment for displaced workers
  4. air dropping 🆚 providing instructions on how community members can set it up
