Many essential needs can be provided using appropriate technology: shelter, water pasteurization, cooking food, dealing with human waste, lighting, telecommunications, bathing and methods of aid cargo delivery, etc.
 
All these needs and solutions could be sliced and diced in many different ways.  This page is structured following the SCIM model, Simple Critical Infrastructure Mapping, described in:
