A proposed role in a coordinated flood response.

One cabin. Two proposed roles.Discover the idea

01 / A continuous response

The journey doesn’t
end at the shore.

Flood response has two challenges: helping people leave danger and finding protection once they arrive.

Proposed role / during

Support the response team.

AeroCabin is proposed as a cabin towed behind a rescue boat, within an evacuation led by trained responders.

Purpose & limits

AeroCabin™ supports evacuation operations run by trained responders. It is not a personal flotation or life-saving device. Capacity and time figures in Cmax System's materials are design targets and will be published here only after validation with response teams.

From proposal to action

Prepared together.
Documented clearly.

Work with a response team before the flood season. Define the need, plan a demonstration and document the outcome.

Who is it for?
  • Firefighters, civil defense and rescue crews running evacuations
  • Families evacuated by boat during floods
  • Municipalities preparing flood-response equipment before the season
How can a community take part?

Propose a fire department or civil defense team. The Foundation confirms the recipient, organizes support and coordinates delivery with partners.
