SKEU

 

 

I. Description/Summary

 

The world experiences rapid change each day and inevitably, natural calamities may happen anytime such as typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. Our product called the "SKEU" stands for Survival Kit Emergency Use. It aims to showcase features which will be beneficiary for the people in Sun Valley especially now when the country is experiencing inconsistent weather. Our product is indeed very practical and conventional due to the necessities taken into consideration during emergencies. As entrepreneurs, it is our job to generate a scalable and innovative business idea based on the problems that Sun Valley faces and to look for possible efficient solutions to these problems.

We have created a multi-purpose product which has a totality of four (4) features — each having a purpose of their own. These features include a flashlight, an emergency pills compartment, a USB port (charger) and lastly, a mosquito repellent roll-on. All of these are essential to the erratic seasons we may encounter because they can be used for different types of emergencies especially when the other tools are not readily available. Other than that, the product is very handy and is easy to carry which makes it more convenient to bring around; the product mainly focuses on the case of emergencies that may occur in the area. Our target market would be of teenagers and adults from the middle-class and upper-class; we are still trying to look for alternative materials so we may further supply the lower-class with survival kits as well. This will be useful for the teenagers and adults since they are essentially capable of owning this product and putting it to productive use.

• USB Port to charge

- Are our cellphones a need or a want nowadays? The use of cellular devices and other gadgets is very prominent when it comes to our generation and it has been playing a huge role in our lives — this is the sole reason as to why we installed a USB port to charge. Along with the other features, this will be efficient for this will serve as an emancipator for the user during times of trouble. Outlets are not always available for you to plug in your devices, nor bringing a cord around with you all the time is advisable, which is why we have included this to prevent experiencing nuisance. It will contain 220 volts which will be able to process and export 5 volts to use for charging. This can approximately charge 4-5 phones.

 

 

• Mosquito Repellent spray

- During the rainy season, the population of mosquitoes increases greatly because of the abundance of floodwater in different parts of the community. Due to this, more people will be at risk of diseases from the mosquitoes such as malaria and dengue. It is vital to have protection and having mosquito repellant handy at all times is a great help in preventing people from catching these diseases.- Taking other necessary precautions to protect one’s self from illnesses caused by mosquitoes such as repairing leaky pipes, keeping windows close, and staying indoors, but sometimes these pests can get into your home, therefore it is very important to wear enough mosquito repellent to cover the skin and clothes in order to prevent high risks of diseases.

IV. Materials & Pricing

 

The materials that will be used in the production of SKEU is a 50ml repellent, flashlight LED, Nano Sim, Waterproof Silicone Rubber, IZPE Foam XPE Foam blocks for shockproof, and etc. The estimated cost based on the computations is Php 835 which is at a very reasonable price considering the high quality materials this product is made of. 

 

 

 

V. Competitive Edge

 

SKEU is a multi-purpose product. What makes our product sell: There is a rapid increase in demand for different necessities due to the extreme weather, possible hazards around the barangay, and etc; with weather such as ours there are safety precautions that should be taken into action in order to prevent numerous accidents from happening. Given that, citizens in the community should be constantly prepared for these calamities or for any other emergencies wherever they go; therefore they should always have materials for these emergencies at the ready. Having a product that already provides 4 necessary tools that can be brought wherever you go not only omits the hassle of having to buy each product and bring them around separately, it allows you to have all readily available whenever you need it.

A precaution that we must take is the application of insect repellant; due to the “malaria or dengue” disease we have in our country which is caused by the environment we live in. Barangay Sun Valley may have some areas that are infested with this Malaria. The rapid growth in population of insects carrying diseases grow larger day by day, which mainly cannot be stopped but only prevented. Which is why having a repellent may be handy and must be carried around at all times.

Another issue people must highly be aware of is the shortage of electricity or commonly known as “brownout” in the Philippines, where in a flashlight is a very effective tool to be used when these brownouts occur, it really comes in handy when it is very dark due to no electricity and you need to find something or someone important. Another risk that should be prevented is when a person is in need of their personal medicines. Situations such as a person being stranded in a place, had left important medicine/s at home, and urgently needs them which is why this compartment is very beneficial to those who may experience these type of situations; they may store it in the medicine compartment we created in this multi-purpose product which will be kept fresh and intact for the next couple of months.

Not only does the product have a total of four different beneficial functions, although it is also composed of materials that enable it to be safe, efficient and most importantly waterproof and shockproof as well. People must be ready at all times, and we believe that this SKEU emergency 4 in 1 product may benefit a great amount of people.

 

 

 

VI. Conclusion

 

The world is changing everyday and we need to be ready for the effects of these change. We believe that with the different present problems Sun Valley Barangay faces or may face in the near future; they should be ready any time with the product we propose to make. We also believe that our product the “SKEU” may be beneficial for everyone because it can be used by both the young and old, and may greatly change the lives of the people living in Sun Valley for the better.

Our product merely focuses on the natural disaster which is rain, that eventually leads to floods. A great amount of questions, yet none have been answered until we came up with this innovation called: the “Aqua Bag.” Now you may think this is just an ordinary bag, although this is much more than that. This would be very useful for people who would like to bring all their stuff with them as well as certain tools for preparedness during rainy season. It is effective due to the exterior of the bag being water proof and the interior being a special material to keep food and water fresh. When flash floods occur, you may turn your bag into a life vest through blowing into a special whistle which will easily be accessible in the side of the bag. The carrier of the bag should not worry for the bag is indeed competent and conventional; We are made of 80% water that is why we are lighter when we are water.  A life jacket buoyancy is 22 lbs.

  This is the main feature of the product. When the flash floods strike, using the easy to find tube, you blown air into it then the air will circulate around the bag. You can worry less on the air deflating or water entering the bag because the zipper will act like a zip lock mechanism and prevent air and water from escaping the interior of the bag. If that is not case and you worry that water will enter through the fabric because it will be not only be made of nylon, but will also have layers being the foam after the nylon which will also help in the floatation.

 

• Waterproof

   

  One of the main materials that make up a life vests is the waterproof materials embedded in it. Thus, the water will not enter in certain places or air will leave the bag due to it being tightly intact and sealed. A ziplock would replace the zipper because water can still enter the bag through the small cracks.

 

• Preservation

   

  Stuck somewhere? Feeling thirsty or hungry? Is your water not cold? Is your food not fresh? The material in the interior of the bag; it will act like a bigger lunch box because the materials used for lunch boxes to keep the food fresh will be the same as the preservation feature used.
