3. Venue
■The venue is Labit National High School.

4. RATIONALE
■The project addresses the urgent need for a flexible, cost-effective
solution to transport injured individuals in emergency situations,
particularly in resource-constrained or high-risk environments.
Traditional stretchers may not always be available or practical in
disasters, conflicts, or rugged terrains. This project aims to develop a
lightweight, adaptable carrier that can be easily constructed from
available materials or quickly deployed, improving rescue efforts. By
empowering non-professionals and first responders with a simple and
effective tool, it enhances survival rates and promotes sustainable,
eco-friendly practices in emergency response.

5. OBJECTIVES
■1. To design and develop a low-cost, effective improvised
carrier/stretcher using locally available materials for emergency
situations in rural or disaster-prone areas.
■2. To train community members on how to construct and properly use
the improvised carrier in various emergency scenarios, including
natural disasters and accidents
■3. To increase the capacity of local first responders and volunteers in
remote areas by providing them with an easily deployable solution to
transport injured individuals safely.

6. BENEFICIARIES
■- Local Communities in Rural Areas, Volunteer First Responders and
Community Health Workers, Disaster Relief Organizations and Local
Governments.

7. STRATEGIES
■Conduct hands-on training sessions to community members, first
responders, and volunteers on assembling, maintaining, and using the
improvised carriers during emergencies.

8. EXPECTED OUTPUT
■1. Functional Prototype of an Improvised Carrier/Stretcher — A simple,
durable, and easily replicable design that can be constructed using
materials found in most localities.
■2. A Trained Community Ready for Emergencies — At least 100 trained
individuals across several rural areas capable of building and using
the carrier/stretcher in emergency situations.
■3. A Detailed Guide and Training Manual — Distributed to communities
and responders for continuous learning and reference, ensuring the
long-term success of the project.
