Needs:  There are many things that we think that we "need."  However, there are four Basic Human Needs that we all truly need to survive.  They are Air, Water, Food and Shelter.  We all need air to provide out bodies with oxygen.  We all need water to keep our bodies hydrated.  We all need food to fuel and nourish our bodies.  Finally, we all need shelter to protect us from the elements.

Threats:   There are multiple threats to each of these four Basic Human Needs.  Most of these threats are man made.  Others are at the hands of nature.

Solutions:  Regardless of the source of the threat the best defense is information.  The purpose of this website is to provide you with information about various threats to our Basic Human Needs.
