Question

A storm has damaged the main highway leading to your town, so there have been no deliveries of essential, or even nonessential, items to neighborhood stores. Some people are running out of certain things they need or want. Others have lost electric power and have no running water. You have some of the items they're looking for but it's up to you to determine how you will choose to distribute them

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

So being that the case and understanding the context of the situation, what I would do is the following.

First. I would analyze my supplies, the number of goods I have to see how much I can share. Then, the second consideration would be the most urgent necessities, for instance, water. The next consideration would be the people who need it: the elderly, children, people with a disease.

So if I have more medicines, I would give it to people who have a disease. If its clothes, I would give them to the poor. If its water, I would split my bottles trying to reach most of the people.

So in conclusion, I would establish priorities depending on the necessities of the ones in need.
