This concept design is create a market which is within more functions and technologies for guardrail. In the existing market, there are some good design highway guardrail, such as EZY-guard smart guardrail. Most of the existing product are applied outter shapes and physical structures rather than some electrical technology. Compare to the existing products, this concept design is more challenged by the cost. 

This design is good for helping people when natural disaster happen. It is a housing  can offer 4 people and relief goods are very important for people after natural disaster. The pacaking is also not large and could be easier for transport. It is a good product for emergency and solve problems.

The author share the experience, the ideas and reference to other research and examples. There are many studies that the author mentioned, also shows the perspective of these studies.

"The risk for commuicable disease transmission after disasters is associated primarily with the size and characteristics of the population displaced, specifically the proximity of safe water adn functioning latrines, the nutritional status of the displaced population, the level of immunuty to vaccine-preventable diseases..., and the access to healthcare services"

"...natural disasters (regardless of type) that do not result in population displacement are rarely associated with outbreaks"

"When death is directly due to the natural disaster, human remains do not pose a rise for outbreaks"
