- – Identify locations of food banks, community gardens, or free meal programs for individuals in need of immediate assistance.
- – Provide information about local farms, organic markets, or sustainable food sources for those seeking affordable and healthy food options.
- – Optimal Nutrition could be studied, understood and widely adopted, increasing general health and wellbeing and lowering costs in other sectors such as health care
2. Water:
- – Pinpoint areas facing water scarcity, contamination, or lack of clean water facilities to direct resources towards water infrastructure development and emergency response.
- – Display locations of water purification stations, safe drinking water sources, and water treatment facilities.
- – Share information on sustainable solutions for water access, conservation, and purification techniques.
- – Provide upates on new water technologies, developments and breakthroughs could be highlighted showing progress of competing teams and ideas.
3. Shelter:
- – Map areas with high rates of homelessness or inadequate housing conditions to aid in targeted allocation of housing resources and support services.
- – Highlight emergency shelters, transitional housing programs, or affordable housing options for those without a stable place to live.

- – Highlight jobs available in the housing sector, link people to skills training and and send people to work locations where new housing will have the greatest impacts on other progress.
4. Education:
- – Identify regions with low literacy rates, limited access to quality education, or lack of educational resources to direct educational initiatives and interventions.
- – Display locations of schools, libraries, and community centers for individuals seeking educational opportunities.
- – Share information on scholarships, grants, and educational programs to assist individuals in pursuing higher education or acquiring new skills.
- – Provide interactive access to all areas of knowledge, including detail of fine points of frequent debates and current status of understanding
5. Healthcare:
- – Pinpoint areas with limited access to medical facilities, healthcare professionals, or essential healthcare services to inform healthcare resource allocation.
- – Highlight locations of hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and healthcare centers for individuals in need of medical attention.
