Floating Survival Houses

This Device is Vital Survival Tool in Case of a Disaster

— August 29, 2015 — Social Good
Tragically, there have been many different natural disasters all over the world that have resulted in many deaths, however, devices like this floating survival house have the ability to save lives.

The 'Duckweed Survival House' is the solution to the horrible effects that can be caused by natural disasters like Tsunamis or Floods. As conventional flotation devices only allow you to float, that isn't enough in a situation when the wind could easily cause the device to turn over. This device is an emergency floating shelter that protects from the elements that could overthrow you from a raft.

The floating survival house could greatly impact survival rates and help locate survivors in a rescue effort. The weight under the house also makes sure that it doesn't tip over and stabilizes in the case of tumultuous waters.
