Beacons of life is an alternate solution that complements previous traditional methods of alerting people with audio signals, voice messages, signs, maps and bright lights. Open sourced low cost, disaster-activated kit for evacuations. The solar powered kit will include devices that will serve as a life line for groups or individuals in need of quick access to information or transfer thereof, or life saving instructions on the fly. It will also include escape routes and meeting points for multiple scenarios, visual and audio alarms with alerts, and instructions for disasters survivors to follow into safety. This includes LED lights, audio messages and constant updates placed and delivered throughout both open and closed spaces such as schools, universities, libraries, malls, hotels, hospitals, residences, prisons and discos, etc.
As it is the case in the event of a major disaster, signs, instructions and even pathways to these meeting spots could become unavailable or inaccessible. Most contemporary structures and institutional facilities will have designated meeting spots in established safe areas near evacuation routes. In addition, visual clues would be of little assistance to people with visual disabilities and those who are disoriented, panicking or in shock. Basically, the devices in this kit will be perfectly safe and easy to use for everyone, in case anyone has a disability. Also by providing these kits, little beacons of life will rise in each community to bring hope to their people in a different and innovative way.
