Reducing Inequalities
Reducing Inequalities
Less affluent communities often suffer from funding cuts and a lack of resources, leading to gaps in emergency response and support. With our mobile and adaptable drones, Horizon-Aid is the perfect solution to bridging this gap. Horizon-aid units can be equipped onto existing units. Horizon-Aid works to ensure fast emergency and disaster responses and aid for all communities, no matter their level of prosperity. This ensures that communities get equal assistance and optimal support in the event of an emergency, no matter the financial constraints.
Statistical Representation of Inequality
Annual Natural Disaster Rates
Annual Natural Disaster Rates
Over the last century, there has been an evident rising number of natural disaster events; however, this data may not be completely representative in the earlier years because it only accounts for reported natural disasters. In 2023 alone, there was a reported 410 natural disasters.Â
Annual Deaths by Natural Disasters
Annual Deaths by Natural Disasters
As outlined by the graph, since the 1990s, there has been an average annual death rate of ~45000. Granted, the graph is skewed towards the earlier dates. Despite this, an average of 38059 deaths in the 2010s decade remains significant. This is a pertinent issue that Horizon Aid aims to solve using innovative drone and drone deployment technology.
Response Times and Community Income Levels
Response Times and Community Income Levels
This graph makes it abundantly clear that low-income communities, during times of disaster, receive delayed care in comparison to higher-income communities. This is an issue that must be addressed because there is an exponential increase in mortality rate that comes with a delayed response time. This is an unequal gap in treatment that Horizon Aid plans to bridge by providing indiscriminate care to people after natural disasters. Our approach for this is to deploy search and rescue drones at a site of disaster in order to scout for missing and potentially injured individuals, who would receive care once located.
