Practice Scenarios

Tech

Response:

We should develop a failsafe to prevent system disruptions. Let's tide over the updates without any server shutdown.

Impact

Scenario:

Intense storms and heavy rainfall have led to severe soil erosion, endangering local wildlife habitats.

Response:

We shall start a project on coastal regeneration to act against the tide of environmental changes and protect wildlife habitats.
