DESIGN NAME: ResQ TRU
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Temporary Rescue Unit
INSPIRATION: It is due to the frustration and inability of people who lost relatives by some catastrophe. Be responsible and ethical commits Israel Lara to offer options that allow people live calmer and better prepared to solve at the moment.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Cabin in case of earthquakes, floods, natural disasters, tsunami; Able to adapt to two positions depending on the strength of the outside sinister, padded to avoid injuries. Location GPS connected to a seismic alert in addition to backup system alert. The shape resembles to a capsule which in addition to distribute the impacts, it is anthropometrically suitable, has a found reinforcement, similar to an assembly that will prevent the concentration of the impact on a single point.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Buoyancy and ballast system: thanks to its shape as well as three integrated areas which facilitate its flotation and its stability in a horizontal position. The capsule will register the conditions of what had happened and which actions to take depending on the type of disaster to opt for a continuous or intermittent use of the system. It has food supplies, air purifier and an independent oxygen container, audible and optical alarm system and Backup batteries and Fire-resistant film.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project September in may 2014 in Mexico and finished in may 2015 in Mexico
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Social Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The difference of this project is the easy adaptability to every environment in addition to the analysis of each specific circumstance in the world and its different form of rescue, in which improvements were observed and can be implemented both in security and anthropometry. Safeguarding its occupier against mass of water, debris, flashes of electricity.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Investigating the processes of rescue we facilitate the task of being found with different implementations regardless of whether situations, places and distances. Made of steel and pressure of water and weight of debris-resistant reinforced plastics, it has a main entrance as well as a rescue access in case of being trapped in the rubble; its color is reflective, Windows made of transparent polycarbonate and its cover phosphorescent to be more easily located regardless of the time or the site of the disaster.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The responsibility to observe nature and fateful disasters show that world population was not aware of the deadly reaches of earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, avalanches, floods. In Mexico in the earthquakes of 1932, 1957 and 1985 it was observed that many buildings were destroyed, emblematic buildings the same than housing.
History books, periodicals, hospital records, news, testimonial videos, physical observation of the landslides, deficiency in regulations, observation of occupied materials in the buildings.
CHALLENGE: The Government can accept and release the possibility of construction due to the history and consequences in the health sector. A Government spends more healing than protecting. The world is changing and changes force to propose possibilities for protection. The assembly of the capsule would be on a massive form and at affordable costs. The result is accepted if with this population is educated to its use. The disorderly construction where we see buildings of different ages and varied levels in earthquakes propitiate crisis.
