For our shelter:bus, we decided that one of the most important and basic needs is water. Therefore, our relief bus is dedicated solely to need. The bus will have a retractable, slanted "rain-roof" that will channel rainwater into collapsible barrels. From there, basic water refinement treatments will be done, such as the addition of iodine to the water, in order to ensure the safety of the water. The bus will also have a "water bladder" on the second floor that will store pre-treated water and can be siphoned into the barrels. Large, re-usable plastic bottles will be given to the victims in need so that they can take water as they please and have it stored safely. If for some reason water is not easily accessible for the shelter:bus, the hose from the bladder can attach to any working fire hydrant.
