  • Insights

    What have we found out from flood victim?

    Insight 1

    "No choice as floods last 1-3 weeks... or we starve"

    -Schooling teenager

    Flood victims know that staying indoors is safest due to high water levels, but have to venture outside for resupplies and other necessities

    Insight 2

    "Often rely on wealthier neighbors... to ferry things by boat"

    -Relief worker, Global Ehsan Relief

    Flood victims realize that owning a boat is extremely useful but are reluctant to do so due to high cost and white elephant storage

    Insight 3

    Current solutions focus on pre and post flood mitigation but victims prefer a user-centric product for more immediate applications
