Innovative partnership for DRR
• Disaster Risk Reduction : a new area of work ,
both the public and for the private sector.
• Awareness is growing, but not enough
resources are invested.
• This proposal aims at developing an innovative
cooperation framework between :
– Private enterprise
– International Institutions
– And produce new sources of funding for DRR
Our role
• Our focus: innovation for DRR
• Our activities: to design, patent, diffuse
develop and diffuse innovative technologies
and best practices.
• When we design innovation for the
industrialized world, we systematically
consider how the same innovation may be
brought to the developing world.
Our capability
• Recently, we have developed inventions which
are specifically geared to DRR
• These are implementable with varied degree
of sophistication and costs, such that they can
be produced at the high-tech level for the
more wealthy public, and at a low tech,
affordable level, for the vulnerable population
and least developed countries.
Our proposal:
An innovative partnership
• Our proposal is to join forces for the diffusion
of these inventions to the advantage of DRR
both in industrialized and in developing
countries, by reuniting:
• A major private sector enterprise;
• An International or organization;
• Our consortium (Anna Conti– HEW-ARCA
Consulting )
Private Industry
• The private enterprise would be licensed by
our consortium to produce and sell the
invention in its more sophisticated version.
• It must commit to donating a share of its
profits on this operation to the public
organization, for the purpose of DRR in
developing countries.
The International Institutions or NGOs
– are licensed for the low tech version of the
invention in developing countries.
– Receive funding from private enterprise for the
implementation of projects for the production and
diffusion of the invention in developing countries
Our Project:
• Sets conditions for supporting International
organisation when selling license to private
sector;
• Donates license for low tech version in
developing countries to International
Organisation
Some of our patented products
• Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell
• Educational earthquake toy
• Ovolution- anti-catstrophe, anti-tsunami
shelter
Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell:
A simple way to save lives in an
earthquake
• The majority of deaths occur at night, when
an earthquake strikes as people are in their
homes.
• The idea is that your bed should be able to
protect you from the collapsing building, and
provide a shell in which you will survive until
help can reach you.
• Starting from a centuries-old design- the
canopy bed- we have developed one in which
the canopy and the base can join to form a
highly resistant shell in which you can survive
even under the fallen building.
• The principle is that the kinetic energy of the
falling buidling is absorbed by springs, which
are compressed as the canopy decsends to
join the base.
• The design and the materials being used change
according to the type of building in which the bed
will be located.
• In a multistorey building made of concrete or
steel, the bed will be built with steel or other
strong metal elements;
• But in a single, or two storey building such as the
ones most common in Developing countries, it is
ok to use less expensive materials- for example,
to recycle parts of old vehichles!!
The earthquake toy
• Children all over the world play at making
model constructions, since immemorable
time.
• The idea is to make this game into alearning
experience: how to make buildings that resist
earthquakes.
• This we can do by making a toy that simulates
an earthquake, which can test the resistance
of the model buildings.
• Coupled with a good system of model
constructions, and with appropriate written,
graphic and audiovisual materials, this toy can
help children develop a good base of
knowledge.
• So we have developed a very simple
earthquake simulator, consisting of a platform
which is made to vibrate horizontally and
vertically, in the same way as the ground does
in an earthquake.
• The platform is powered by a battery, or a
spring, or even a simple turn-handle.
• The children will build a model contruction
and place it on the platform, simulate the
earthquake and see what happens to their
model. The difference in resistance between
different designs will be evident.
• LEGO would be an ideal partner- to produce
and market the game in developed nations.
• The game could be produced at very low cost
and widely diffused in developing countries,
through schools for example,
• The children would spread their knowledge in
their nieghbourhoods, bringing to better
building practices and even to improvements
on existing buildings.

in an earthquake.
• The platform is powered by a battery, or a
spring, or even a simple turn-handle.
• The children will build a model contruction
and place it on the platform, simulate the
earthquake and see what happens to their
model. The difference in resistance between
different designs will be evident.
• LEGO would be an ideal partner- to produce
and market the game in developed nations.
• The game could be produced at very low cost
and widely diffused in developing countries,
through schools for example,
• The children would spread their knowledge in
their nieghbourhoods, bringing to better
building practices and even to improvements
on existing buildings.

Innovative partnership for DRR
• Disaster Risk Reduction : a new area of work ,
both the public and for the private sector.
• Awareness is growing, but not enough
resources are invested.
• This proposal aims at developing an innovative
cooperation framework between :
– Private enterprise
– International Institutions
– And produce new sources of funding for DRR
Our role
• Our focus: innovation for DRR
• Our activities: to design, patent, diffuse
develop and diffuse innovative technologies
and best practices.
• When we design innovation for the
industrialized world, we systematically
consider how the same innovation may be
brought to the developing world.
Our capability
• Recently, we have developed inventions which
are specifically geared to DRR
• These are implementable with varied degree
of sophistication and costs, such that they can
be produced at the high-tech level for the
more wealthy public, and at a low tech,
affordable level, for the vulnerable population
and least developed countries.
Our proposal:
An innovative partnership
• Our proposal is to join forces for the diffusion
of these inventions to the advantage of DRR
both in industrialized and in developing
countries, by reuniting:
• A major private sector enterprise;
• An International or organization;
• Our consortium (Anna Conti– HEW-ARCA
Consulting )
Private Industry
• The private enterprise would be licensed by
our consortium to produce and sell the
invention in its more sophisticated version.
• It must commit to donating a share of its
profits on this operation to the public
organization, for the purpose of DRR in
developing countries.
The International Institutions or NGOs
– are licensed for the low tech version of the
invention in developing countries.
– Receive funding from private enterprise for the
implementation of projects for the production and
diffusion of the invention in developing countries
Our Project:
• Sets conditions for supporting International
organisation when selling license to private
sector;
• Donates license for low tech version in
developing countries to International
Organisation
Some of our patented products
• Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell
• Educational earthquake toy
• Ovolution- anti-catstrophe, anti-tsunami
shelter
Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell:
A simple way to save lives in an
earthquake
• The majority of deaths occur at night, when
an earthquake strikes as people are in their
homes.
• The idea is that your bed should be able to
protect you from the collapsing building, and
provide a shell in which you will survive until
help can reach you.
• Starting from a centuries-old design- the
canopy bed- we have developed one in which
the canopy and the base can join to form a
highly resistant shell in which you can survive
even under the fallen building.
• The principle is that the kinetic energy of the
falling buidling is absorbed by springs, which
are compressed as the canopy decsends to
join the base.
• The design and the materials being used change
according to the type of building in which the bed
will be located.
• In a multistorey building made of concrete or
steel, the bed will be built with steel or other
strong metal elements;
• But in a single, or two storey building such as the
ones most common in Developing countries, it is
ok to use less expensive materials- for example,
to recycle parts of old vehichles!!
The earthquake toy
• Children all over the world play at making
model constructions, since immemorable
time.
• The idea is to make this game into alearning
experience: how to make buildings that resist
earthquakes.
• This we can do by making a toy that simulates
an earthquake, which can test the resistance
of the model buildings.
• Coupled with a good system of model
constructions, and with appropriate written,
graphic and audiovisual materials, this toy can
help children develop a good base of
knowledge.
• So we have developed a very simple
earthquake simulator, consisting of a platform
which is made to vibrate horizontally and
vertically, in the same way as the ground does
in an earthquake.
• The platform is powered by a battery, or a
spring, or even a simple turn-handle.
• The children will build a model contruction
and place it on the platform, simulate the
earthquake and see what happens to their
model. The difference in resistance between

• The idea is to make this game into alearning
experience: how to make buildings that resist
earthquakes.
• This we can do by making a toy that simulates
an earthquake, which can test the resistance
of the model buildings.
• Coupled with a good system of model
constructions, and with appropriate written,
graphic and audiovisual materials, this toy can
help children develop a good base of
knowledge.
• So we have developed a very simple
earthquake simulator, consisting of a platform
which is made to vibrate horizontally and
vertically, in the same way as the ground does
in an earthquake.
• The platform is powered by a battery, or a
spring, or even a simple turn-handle.
• The children will build a model contruction
and place it on the platform, simulate the
earthquake and see what happens to their
model. The difference in resistance between
different designs will be evident.
• LEGO would be an ideal partner- to produce
and market the game in developed nations.
• The game could be produced at very low cost
and widely diffused in developing countries,
through schools for example,
• The children would spread their knowledge in
their nieghbourhoods, bringing to better
building practices and even to improvements
on existing buildings.

Innovative partnership for DRR
• Disaster Risk Reduction : a new area of work ,
both the public and for the private sector.
• Awareness is growing, but not enough
resources are invested.
• This proposal aims at developing an innovative
cooperation framework between :
– Private enterprise
– International Institutions
– And produce new sources of funding for DRR
Our role
• Our focus: innovation for DRR
• Our activities: to design, patent, diffuse
develop and diffuse innovative technologies
and best practices.
• When we design innovation for the
industrialized world, we systematically
consider how the same innovation may be
brought to the developing world.
Our capability
• Recently, we have developed inventions which
are specifically geared to DRR
• These are implementable with varied degree
of sophistication and costs, such that they can
be produced at the high-tech level for the
more wealthy public, and at a low tech,
affordable level, for the vulnerable population
and least developed countries.
Our proposal:
An innovative partnership
• Our proposal is to join forces for the diffusion
of these inventions to the advantage of DRR
both in industrialized and in developing
countries, by reuniting:
• A major private sector enterprise;
• An International or organization;
• Our consortium (Anna Conti– HEW-ARCA
Consulting )
Private Industry
• The private enterprise would be licensed by
our consortium to produce and sell the
invention in its more sophisticated version.
• It must commit to donating a share of its
profits on this operation to the public
organization, for the purpose of DRR in
developing countries.
The International Institutions or NGOs
– are licensed for the low tech version of the
invention in developing countries.
– Receive funding from private enterprise for the
implementation of projects for the production and
diffusion of the invention in developing countries
Our Project:
• Sets conditions for supporting International
organisation when selling license to private
sector;
• Donates license for low tech version in
developing countries to International
Organisation
Some of our patented products
• Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell
• Educational earthquake toy
• Ovolution- anti-catstrophe, anti-tsunami
shelter
Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell:
A simple way to save lives in an
earthquake
• The majority of deaths occur at night, when
an earthquake strikes as people are in their
homes.
• The idea is that your bed should be able to
protect you from the collapsing building, and
provide a shell in which you will survive until
help can reach you.
• Starting from a centuries-old design- the
canopy bed- we have developed one in which
the canopy and the base can join to form a
highly resistant shell in which you can survive
even under the fallen building.
• The principle is that the kinetic energy of the
falling buidling is absorbed by springs, which
are compressed as the canopy decsends to
join the base.
• The design and the materials being used change
according to the type of building in which the bed
will be located.
• In a multistorey building made of concrete or
steel, the bed will be built with steel or other
strong metal elements;
• But in a single, or two storey building such as the
ones most common in Developing countries, it is
ok to use less expensive materials- for example,
to recycle parts of old vehichles!!

• The design and the materials being used change
according to the type of building in which the bed
will be located.
• In a multistorey building made of concrete or
steel, the bed will be built with steel or other
strong metal elements;
• But in a single, or two storey building such as the
ones most common in Developing countries, it is
ok to use less expensive materials- for example,
to recycle parts of old vehichles!!
The earthquake toy
• Children all over the world play at making
model constructions, since immemorable
time.
• The idea is to make this game into alearning
experience: how to make buildings that resist
earthquakes.
• This we can do by making a toy that simulates
an earthquake, which can test the resistance
of the model buildings.
• Coupled with a good system of model
constructions, and with appropriate written,
graphic and audiovisual materials, this toy can
help children develop a good base of
knowledge.
• So we have developed a very simple
earthquake simulator, consisting of a platform
which is made to vibrate horizontally and
vertically, in the same way as the ground does
in an earthquake.
• The platform is powered by a battery, or a
spring, or even a simple turn-handle.
• The children will build a model contruction
and place it on the platform, simulate the
earthquake and see what happens to their
model. The difference in resistance between
different designs will be evident.
• LEGO would be an ideal partner- to produce
and market the game in developed nations.
• The game could be produced at very low cost
and widely diffused in developing countries,
through schools for example,
• The children would spread their knowledge in
their nieghbourhoods, bringing to better
building practices and even to improvements
on existing buildings.

Innovative partnership for DRR
• Disaster Risk Reduction : a new area of work ,
both the public and for the private sector.
• Awareness is growing, but not enough
resources are invested.
• This proposal aims at developing an innovative
cooperation framework between :
– Private enterprise
– International Institutions
– And produce new sources of funding for DRR
Our role
• Our focus: innovation for DRR
• Our activities: to design, patent, diffuse
develop and diffuse innovative technologies
and best practices.
• When we design innovation for the
industrialized world, we systematically
consider how the same innovation may be
brought to the developing world.
Our capability
• Recently, we have developed inventions which
are specifically geared to DRR
• These are implementable with varied degree
of sophistication and costs, such that they can
be produced at the high-tech level for the
more wealthy public, and at a low tech,
affordable level, for the vulnerable population
and least developed countries.
Our proposal:
An innovative partnership
• Our proposal is to join forces for the diffusion
of these inventions to the advantage of DRR
both in industrialized and in developing
countries, by reuniting:
• A major private sector enterprise;
• An International or organization;
• Our consortium (Anna Conti– HEW-ARCA
Consulting )
Private Industry
• The private enterprise would be licensed by
our consortium to produce and sell the
invention in its more sophisticated version.
• It must commit to donating a share of its
profits on this operation to the public
organization, for the purpose of DRR in
developing countries.
The International Institutions or NGOs
– are licensed for the low tech version of the
invention in developing countries.
– Receive funding from private enterprise for the
implementation of projects for the production and
diffusion of the invention in developing countries
Our Project:
• Sets conditions for supporting International
organisation when selling license to private
sector;
• Donates license for low tech version in
developing countries to International
Organisation

• Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell

• Ovolution- anti-catstrophe, anti-tsunami
shelter
Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell:
A simple way to save lives in an
earthquake
• The majority of deaths occur at night, when
an earthquake strikes as people are in their
homes.
• The idea is that your bed should be able to
protect you from the collapsing building, and
provide a shell in which you will survive until
help can reach you.
• Starting from a centuries-old design- the
canopy bed- we have developed one in which
the canopy and the base can join to form a
highly resistant shell in which you can survive
even under the fallen building.
• The principle is that the kinetic energy of the
falling buidling is absorbed by springs, which
are compressed as the canopy decsends to
join the base.
• The design and the materials being used change
according to the type of building in which the bed
will be located.
• In a multistorey building made of concrete or

homes.
• The idea is that your bed should be able to
protect you from the collapsing building, and
provide a shell in which you will survive until
help can reach you.
• Starting from a centuries-old design- the
canopy bed- we have developed one in which
the canopy and the base can join to form a
highly resistant shell in which you can survive
even under the fallen building.
• The principle is that the kinetic energy of the
falling buidling is absorbed by springs, which
are compressed as the canopy decsends to
join the base.
• The design and the materials being used change
according to the type of building in which the bed
will be located.
• In a multistorey building made of concrete or
steel, the bed will be built with steel or other
strong metal elements;
• But in a single, or two storey building such as the
ones most common in Developing countries, it is
ok to use less expensive materials- for example,
to recycle parts of old vehichles!!
The earthquake toy
• Children all over the world play at making
model constructions, since immemorable
time.
• The idea is to make this game into alearning
experience: how to make buildings that resist
earthquakes.
• This we can do by making a toy that simulates
an earthquake, which can test the resistance
of the model buildings.
• Coupled with a good system of model
constructions, and with appropriate written,
graphic and audiovisual materials, this toy can
help children develop a good base of
knowledge.
• So we have developed a very simple
earthquake simulator, consisting of a platform
which is made to vibrate horizontally and
vertically, in the same way as the ground does
in an earthquake.
• The platform is powered by a battery, or a
spring, or even a simple turn-handle.
• The children will build a model contruction
and place it on the platform, simulate the
earthquake and see what happens to their
model. The difference in resistance between
different designs will be evident.
• LEGO would be an ideal partner- to produce
and market the game in developed nations.
• The game could be produced at very low cost
and widely diffused in developing countries,
through schools for example,
• The children would spread their knowledge in
their nieghbourhoods, bringing to better
building practices and even to improvements
on existing buildings.

Innovative partnership for DRR
• Disaster Risk Reduction : a new area of work ,
both the public and for the private sector.
• Awareness is growing, but not enough
resources are invested.
• This proposal aims at developing an innovative
cooperation framework between :
– Private enterprise
– International Institutions
– And produce new sources of funding for DRR
Our role
• Our focus: innovation for DRR
• Our activities: to design, patent, diffuse
develop and diffuse innovative technologies
and best practices.
• When we design innovation for the
industrialized world, we systematically
consider how the same innovation may be
brought to the developing world.
Our capability
• Recently, we have developed inventions which
are specifically geared to DRR
• These are implementable with varied degree
of sophistication and costs, such that they can
be produced at the high-tech level for the
more wealthy public, and at a low tech,
affordable level, for the vulnerable population
and least developed countries.
Our proposal:
An innovative partnership
• Our proposal is to join forces for the diffusion
of these inventions to the advantage of DRR
both in industrialized and in developing
countries, by reuniting:
• A major private sector enterprise;
• An International or organization;
• Our consortium (Anna Conti– HEW-ARCA
Consulting )
Private Industry
• The private enterprise would be licensed by
our consortium to produce and sell the
invention in its more sophisticated version.
• It must commit to donating a share of its
profits on this operation to the public
organization, for the purpose of DRR in
developing countries.
The International Institutions or NGOs
– are licensed for the low tech version of the
invention in developing countries.
– Receive funding from private enterprise for the
implementation of projects for the production and
diffusion of the invention in developing countries
Our Project:
• Sets conditions for supporting International

diffusion of the invention in developing countries
Our Project:
• Sets conditions for supporting International
organisation when selling license to private
sector;
• Donates license for low tech version in
developing countries to International
Organisation
Some of our patented products
• Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell
• Educational earthquake toy
• Ovolution- anti-catstrophe, anti-tsunami
shelter
Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell:
A simple way to save lives in an
earthquake
• The majority of deaths occur at night, when
an earthquake strikes as people are in their
homes.
• The idea is that your bed should be able to
protect you from the collapsing building, and
provide a shell in which you will survive until
help can reach you.
• Starting from a centuries-old design- the
canopy bed- we have developed one in which
the canopy and the base can join to form a
highly resistant shell in which you can survive
even under the fallen building.
• The principle is that the kinetic energy of the
falling buidling is absorbed by springs, which
are compressed as the canopy decsends to
join the base.
• The design and the materials being used change
according to the type of building in which the bed
will be located.
• In a multistorey building made of concrete or
steel, the bed will be built with steel or other
strong metal elements;
• But in a single, or two storey building such as the
ones most common in Developing countries, it is
ok to use less expensive materials- for example,
to recycle parts of old vehichles!!
The earthquake toy
• Children all over the world play at making
model constructions, since immemorable
time.
• The idea is to make this game into alearning
experience: how to make buildings that resist
earthquakes.
• This we can do by making a toy that simulates
an earthquake, which can test the resistance
of the model buildings.
• Coupled with a good system of model
constructions, and with appropriate written,
graphic and audiovisual materials, this toy can
help children develop a good base of
knowledge.
• So we have developed a very simple
earthquake simulator, consisting of a platform
which is made to vibrate horizontally and
vertically, in the same way as the ground does
in an earthquake.
• The platform is powered by a battery, or a
spring, or even a simple turn-handle.
• The children will build a model contruction
and place it on the platform, simulate the
earthquake and see what happens to their
model. The difference in resistance between
different designs will be evident.
• LEGO would be an ideal partner- to produce
and market the game in developed nations.
• The game could be produced at very low cost
and widely diffused in developing countries,
through schools for example,
• The children would spread their knowledge in
their nieghbourhoods, bringing to better
building practices and even to improvements
on existing buildings.

Innovative partnership for DRR
• Disaster Risk Reduction : a new area of work ,
both the public and for the private sector.
• Awareness is growing, but not enough
resources are invested.
• This proposal aims at developing an innovative
cooperation framework between :
– Private enterprise
– International Institutions
– And produce new sources of funding for DRR
Our role

• An International or organization;
• Our consortium (Anna Conti– HEW-ARCA
Consulting )
Private Industry
• The private enterprise would be licensed by
our consortium to produce and sell the
invention in its more sophisticated version.
• It must commit to donating a share of its
profits on this operation to the public
organization, for the purpose of DRR in
developing countries.
The International Institutions or NGOs
– are licensed for the low tech version of the
invention in developing countries.
– Receive funding from private enterprise for the
implementation of projects for the production and
diffusion of the invention in developing countries
Our Project:
• Sets conditions for supporting International
organisation when selling license to private
sector;
• Donates license for low tech version in
developing countries to International
Organisation
Some of our patented products
• Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell
• Educational earthquake toy
• Ovolution- anti-catstrophe, anti-tsunami
shelter
Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell:
A simple way to save lives in an
earthquake
• The majority of deaths occur at night, when
an earthquake strikes as people are in their
homes.
• The idea is that your bed should be able to
protect you from the collapsing building, and
provide a shell in which you will survive until
help can reach you.
• Starting from a centuries-old design- the
canopy bed- we have developed one in which
the canopy and the base can join to form a
highly resistant shell in which you can survive
even under the fallen building.
• The principle is that the kinetic energy of the
falling buidling is absorbed by springs, which
are compressed as the canopy decsends to
join the base.
• The design and the materials being used change
according to the type of building in which the bed
will be located.
• In a multistorey building made of concrete or
steel, the bed will be built with steel or other
strong metal elements;
• But in a single, or two storey building such as the
ones most common in Developing countries, it is
ok to use less expensive materials- for example,
to recycle parts of old vehichles!!
The earthquake toy
• Children all over the world play at making
model constructions, since immemorable
time.
• The idea is to make this game into alearning
experience: how to make buildings that resist
earthquakes.
• This we can do by making a toy that simulates
an earthquake, which can test the resistance
of the model buildings.
• Coupled with a good system of model
constructions, and with appropriate written,
graphic and audiovisual materials, this toy can
help children develop a good base of
knowledge.
• So we have developed a very simple
earthquake simulator, consisting of a platform
which is made to vibrate horizontally and
vertically, in the same way as the ground does
in an earthquake.
• The platform is powered by a battery, or a
spring, or even a simple turn-handle.
• The children will build a model contruction
and place it on the platform, simulate the
earthquake and see what happens to their
model. The difference in resistance between
different designs will be evident.
• LEGO would be an ideal partner- to produce
and market the game in developed nations.
• The game could be produced at very low cost
and widely diffused in developing countries,
through schools for example,
• The children would spread their knowledge in
their nieghbourhoods, bringing to better
building practices and even to improvements
on existing buildings.

• Recently, we have developed inventions which
are specifically geared to DRR
• These are implementable with varied degree
of sophistication and costs, such that they can
be produced at the high-tech level for the
more wealthy public, and at a low tech,
affordable level, for the vulnerable population
and least developed countries.
Our proposal:
An innovative partnership
• Our proposal is to join forces for the diffusion
of these inventions to the advantage of DRR
both in industrialized and in developing
countries, by reuniting:
• A major private sector enterprise;
• An International or organization;
• Our consortium (Anna Conti– HEW-ARCA
Consulting )
Private Industry
• The private enterprise would be licensed by
our consortium to produce and sell the
invention in its more sophisticated version.
• It must commit to donating a share of its
profits on this operation to the public
organization, for the purpose of DRR in
developing countries.
The International Institutions or NGOs
– are licensed for the low tech version of the
invention in developing countries.
– Receive funding from private enterprise for the
implementation of projects for the production and
diffusion of the invention in developing countries
Our Project:
• Sets conditions for supporting International
organisation when selling license to private
sector;
• Donates license for low tech version in
developing countries to International
Organisation
Some of our patented products
• Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell
• Educational earthquake toy
• Ovolution- anti-catstrophe, anti-tsunami
shelter
Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell:
A simple way to save lives in an
earthquake
• The majority of deaths occur at night, when
an earthquake strikes as people are in their
homes.
• The idea is that your bed should be able to
protect you from the collapsing building, and
provide a shell in which you will survive until
help can reach you.
• Starting from a centuries-old design- the
canopy bed- we have developed one in which
the canopy and the base can join to form a
highly resistant shell in which you can survive
even under the fallen building.
• The principle is that the kinetic energy of the
falling buidling is absorbed by springs, which
are compressed as the canopy decsends to
join the base.
• The design and the materials being used change
according to the type of building in which the bed
will be located.
• In a multistorey building made of concrete or
steel, the bed will be built with steel or other
strong metal elements;
• But in a single, or two storey building such as the
ones most common in Developing countries, it is
ok to use less expensive materials- for example,
to recycle parts of old vehichles!!
The earthquake toy
• Children all over the world play at making
model constructions, since immemorable
time.
• The idea is to make this game into alearning
experience: how to make buildings that resist
earthquakes.
• This we can do by making a toy that simulates
an earthquake, which can test the resistance
of the model buildings.
• Coupled with a good system of model
constructions, and with appropriate written,
graphic and audiovisual materials, this toy can
help children develop a good base of
knowledge.
• So we have developed a very simple
earthquake simulator, consisting of a platform
which is made to vibrate horizontally and
vertically, in the same way as the ground does
in an earthquake.
• The platform is powered by a battery, or a
spring, or even a simple turn-handle.
• The children will build a model contruction
and place it on the platform, simulate the
earthquake and see what happens to their
model. The difference in resistance between
different designs will be evident.
• LEGO would be an ideal partner- to produce
and market the game in developed nations.
• The game could be produced at very low cost
and widely diffused in developing countries,
through schools for example,
• The children would spread their knowledge in
their nieghbourhoods, bringing to better
building practices and even to improvements
on existing buildings.

both the public and for the private sector.
• Awareness is growing, but not enough
resources are invested.
• This proposal aims at developing an innovative
cooperation framework between :
– Private enterprise
– International Institutions
– And produce new sources of funding for DRR
Our role
• Our focus: innovation for DRR
• Our activities: to design, patent, diffuse
develop and diffuse innovative technologies
and best practices.
• When we design innovation for the
industrialized world, we systematically
consider how the same innovation may be
brought to the developing world.
Our capability
• Recently, we have developed inventions which
are specifically geared to DRR
• These are implementable with varied degree
of sophistication and costs, such that they can
be produced at the high-tech level for the
more wealthy public, and at a low tech,
affordable level, for the vulnerable population
and least developed countries.
Our proposal:
An innovative partnership
• Our proposal is to join forces for the diffusion
of these inventions to the advantage of DRR
both in industrialized and in developing
countries, by reuniting:
• A major private sector enterprise;
• An International or organization;
• Our consortium (Anna Conti– HEW-ARCA
Consulting )
Private Industry
• The private enterprise would be licensed by
our consortium to produce and sell the
invention in its more sophisticated version.
• It must commit to donating a share of its
profits on this operation to the public
organization, for the purpose of DRR in
developing countries.
The International Institutions or NGOs
– are licensed for the low tech version of the
invention in developing countries.
– Receive funding from private enterprise for the
implementation of projects for the production and
diffusion of the invention in developing countries
Our Project:
• Sets conditions for supporting International
organisation when selling license to private
sector;
• Donates license for low tech version in
developing countries to International
Organisation
Some of our patented products
• Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell
• Educational earthquake toy
• Ovolution- anti-catstrophe, anti-tsunami
shelter
Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell:
A simple way to save lives in an
earthquake
• The majority of deaths occur at night, when
an earthquake strikes as people are in their
homes.
• The idea is that your bed should be able to
protect you from the collapsing building, and
provide a shell in which you will survive until
help can reach you.
• Starting from a centuries-old design- the
canopy bed- we have developed one in which
the canopy and the base can join to form a
highly resistant shell in which you can survive
even under the fallen building.
• The principle is that the kinetic energy of the
falling buidling is absorbed by springs, which
are compressed as the canopy decsends to
join the base.
• The design and the materials being used change
according to the type of building in which the bed
will be located.
• In a multistorey building made of concrete or
steel, the bed will be built with steel or other
strong metal elements;
• But in a single, or two storey building such as the
ones most common in Developing countries, it is
ok to use less expensive materials- for example,
to recycle parts of old vehichles!!
The earthquake toy
• Children all over the world play at making
model constructions, since immemorable
time.
• The idea is to make this game into alearning
experience: how to make buildings that resist
earthquakes.
• This we can do by making a toy that simulates
an earthquake, which can test the resistance
of the model buildings.
• Coupled with a good system of model
constructions, and with appropriate written,
graphic and audiovisual materials, this toy can
help children develop a good base of
knowledge.
• So we have developed a very simple
earthquake simulator, consisting of a platform
which is made to vibrate horizontally and
vertically, in the same way as the ground does
in an earthquake.
• The platform is powered by a battery, or a
spring, or even a simple turn-handle.
• The children will build a model contruction
and place it on the platform, simulate the
earthquake and see what happens to their
model. The difference in resistance between
different designs will be evident.
• LEGO would be an ideal partner- to produce
and market the game in developed nations.
• The game could be produced at very low cost
and widely diffused in developing countries,
through schools for example,
• The children would spread their knowledge in
their nieghbourhoods, bringing to better
building practices and even to improvements
on existing buildings.

Innovative partnership for DRR
• Disaster Risk Reduction : a new area of work ,
both the public and for the private sector.
• Awareness is growing, but not enough
resources are invested.
• This proposal aims at developing an innovative
cooperation framework between :
– Private enterprise
– International Institutions
– And produce new sources of funding for DRR
Our role
• Our focus: innovation for DRR
• Our activities: to design, patent, diffuse
develop and diffuse innovative technologies
and best practices.
• When we design innovation for the
industrialized world, we systematically
consider how the same innovation may be
brought to the developing world.
Our capability
• Recently, we have developed inventions which
are specifically geared to DRR
• These are implementable with varied degree
of sophistication and costs, such that they can
be produced at the high-tech level for the
more wealthy public, and at a low tech,
affordable level, for the vulnerable population
and least developed countries.
Our proposal:
An innovative partnership
• Our proposal is to join forces for the diffusion
of these inventions to the advantage of DRR
both in industrialized and in developing
countries, by reuniting:
• A major private sector enterprise;
• An International or organization;
• Our consortium (Anna Conti– HEW-ARCA
Consulting )
Private Industry
• The private enterprise would be licensed by
our consortium to produce and sell the
invention in its more sophisticated version.
• It must commit to donating a share of its
profits on this operation to the public
organization, for the purpose of DRR in
developing countries.
The International Institutions or NGOs
– are licensed for the low tech version of the
invention in developing countries.
– Receive funding from private enterprise for the
implementation of projects for the production and
diffusion of the invention in developing countries
Our Project:
• Sets conditions for supporting International
organisation when selling license to private
sector;
• Donates license for low tech version in
developing countries to International
Organisation
Some of our patented products
• Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell
• Educational earthquake toy
• Ovolution- anti-catstrophe, anti-tsunami
shelter
Anti-earthquake bed and survival shell:
A simple way to save lives in an
earthquake
• The majority of deaths occur at night, when
an earthquake strikes as people are in their
homes.
• The idea is that your bed should be able to
protect you from the collapsing building, and
provide a shell in which you will survive until
help can reach you.
• Starting from a centuries-old design- the
canopy bed- we have developed one in which
the canopy and the base can join to form a
highly resistant shell in which you can survive
even under the fallen building.
• The principle is that the kinetic energy of the
falling buidling is absorbed by springs, which
are compressed as the canopy decsends to
join the base.
• The design and the materials being used change
according to the type of building in which the bed
will be located.
• In a multistorey building made of concrete or
steel, the bed will be built with steel or other
strong metal elements;
• But in a single, or two storey building such as the
ones most common in Developing countries, it is
ok to use less expensive materials- for example,
to recycle parts of old vehichles!!
The earthquake toy
• Children all over the world play at making
model constructions, since immemorable
time.
• The idea is to make this game into alearning
experience: how to make buildings that resist
earthquakes.
• This we can do by making a toy that simulates
an earthquake, which can test the resistance
of the model buildings.
• Coupled with a good system of model
constructions, and with appropriate written,
graphic and audiovisual materials, this toy can
help children develop a good base of
knowledge.
• So we have developed a very simple
earthquake simulator, consisting of a platform
which is made to vibrate horizontally and
vertically, in the same way as the ground does
in an earthquake.
• The platform is powered by a battery, or a
spring, or even a simple turn-handle.
• The children will build a model contruction
and place it on the platform, simulate the
earthquake and see what happens to their
model. The difference in resistance between
different designs will be evident.
• LEGO would be an ideal partner- to produce
and market the game in developed nations.
• The game could be produced at very low cost
and widely diffused in developing countries,
through schools for example,
• The children would spread their knowledge in
their nieghbourhoods, bringing to better
building practices and even to improvements
on existing buildings.
