Detect Fragility in Food, Water, and Shelter Systems
Humanitarian lifeline systems—like food, water, shelter, and medical aid—are vulnerable to cascading breakdowns during crises. Explore how stress builds, where failure can spread, and what areas are most at risk.
Global food distribution network including supply chains, agricultural systems, and emergency food distribution. High hub concentration makes this vulnerable to coordinated climate events affecting 3-5 critical regions simultaneously.
Interconnected healthcare facilities, medical supply chains, and emergency medical services. Small-world topology creates potential for systemic health system cascade failures during pandemics.
Critical water treatment facilities, distribution networks, and sanitation systems essential for public health. Geographic topology with coordinated climate impacts on key water sources could trigger regional humanitarian crises.
Emergency shelters, refugee camps, and displacement coordination networks including housing, camps management and protection services. Network topology is more resilient due to distributed management.
Critical humanitarian systems that, if overwhelmed, would trigger the most severe cascade failures.
Cross-system dependencies that amplify humanitarian crisis effects.
