In a world where antibiotic resistance looms large, the Red Cross's biomedical research facility tackles many obstacles. Firstly, drug-resistant bacteria emerge, heightening the urgency of finding effective treatments. Secondly, constrained resources challenge efforts to innovate new antibiotics. Thirdly, navigating complex regulations delays the approval of potential solutions. Lastly, fostering global collaboration faces problems like privacy concerns. What would you do first: 1. Create super-strong antibiotics using high-tech methods, making them better at killing bacteria and less likely to stop working over time. 2. Explore ways to help the body's natural bacteria fight off infections, like giving them a boost or changing the environment to make it harder for bad bacteria to grow. 3. Create antibiotics that attack specific genetic weak points in drug-resistant bacteria, making it harder for them to fight back.

In a small town prone to flooding during heavy rains, the Red Cross plays a crucial role in disaster preparedness to safeguard the well-being of residents. However, they encounter a simple yet significant challenge: limited emergency supplies. The Red Cross has a finite amount of emergency kits containing essential items like food, water, and first aid supplies. This presents a problem as there may not be enough supplies to meet the needs of all affected individuals and families during a flood. What would you do first: 1. Organize donation drives within the community to collect additional emergency supplies from residents and businesses, supplementing existing stockpiles. 2. Increase the stockpiling of emergency supplies such as food, water, blankets, and first aid kits to ensure supplies are available for distribution during disasters. 3. Recruit and train volunteers to assist with the assembly and distribution of emergency kits, maximizing the efficiency of supply management during emergencies.

Soldiers on both sides of the Ukraine-Russia war have been fighting for numerous years now. Tired from fighting, they are in need of basic resources, such as food, water, and clothes of comfort. How do you suggest we raise awareness and fundraise for this cause?
1. Ask people to find links to raise money in relation to the Red Cross. Raise enough money to fund for basic resources (food, water, clothes, etc.)
2. Organize a food, water, clothes drive and cross verify with the Red Cross to make sure you’re not missing anything. Spread the word on social media, or word of mouth.
2. Providing resources is the top priority in this scenario. Although raising money is also important and can be prioritized later on, organizing food drives and clothing drives will be less expensive and more effective and eye catching for people.
