Preparedness addresses the strategy in disaster management that allows the implementation of successful operational response immediately after a disaster. With speed as the main driver, product design for humanitarian aid purposes is a key factor of success in situations of high uncertainty and urgency. Within this context, the objective of the project is to design a telecommunications container in the SolidWorks 3D CAD system as part of a group of containers that serve the purpose of immediate response to global disasters. The telecommunications container includes all the necessary equipment to establish a communication center in the theater within the first seventy-two hours of humanitarian operations. The design focuses on defining the topology of the various parts of equipment by taking into consideration factors of serviceability, functionality, human-product interaction, universal design language, energy consumption and the interrelationship with the other containers.
