Six ways to die
From Appropedia
A simple model by Vinay Gupta which helps explain what needs to get done in a crisis.
The six ways to die are:
- too hot
- too cold
- thirst
- hunger
- illness
- injury
Rough estimates of the threat in each area can be made, and systems or behaviors added to the situation to keep people safe. If people are not dying of one of these causes, they are not likely to be dying at any rate above baseline mortality.
