Slide 2:

Sick individuals could be quickly identified through having people at airports or other
major transport stations asking if anyone felt ill. Moreover, fast thermometers such as
infrared devices could be used to identify people with a elevated fever. Sick people
could be isolated as best as possible during transport; for example in a separate
airplane or train compartment.

Mask could also be given to sick persons only so that everyone would not have to wear
masks.

Hand sanitizer could be given out in small bottles to promote clean hands.

To accommodate people on respirators or immunocompromised individuals, special transport
may be needed such as airplanes equipped with power sources and staff for special medical
equipment.

Give people bottled water and canned food as communal waters sources are easy
contaminated which would result in mass infection of people. Also canned food does not
require refrigerated storage or cooking, decreasing the chance of food related sickness.

Slide 3:

When setting up temporary housing whether it is in a stadium or a park, people should be
given as much room as possible as close contact allows diseases to be transmitted much
easier.

The most vital part of a temporary camp is to have bathrooms and wash rooms that are able
to handle the volume of people using them. Human waste is heavily contaminated with
pathogens and having a system to remove the waste ensures sickness does not result from
human excrement. Equally important, people need a place to wash their hands to prevent
the spread of pathogen through contaminated hands. Along with washrooms and bathrooms,
soaps need to be included to effectively kill pathogens.

Non perishable food should be provided as this food does not need to be cooked,
eliminating the need for kitchens. Moreover, non perishable food is already pathogen
free, preventing disease due to contaminated food. Bottled water is important because it
eliminates a public water source that could easy be contaminated. Finally, disposable
utensils should be provided to eliminate the need for cleaning and to ensure that people
are not using dirty eating ware.
