- Outfit of Pharmaceutical medicines: In times of mass accidents and injuries, no healthcare services can be aided without prescribed pharmacy drugs, radio pharmaceuticals and oxygen supplies. Pharmacy stocks will be depleted over a single night.
- Public transportation: Just like medicine supply, fuel supply also plays predominant role in the society for the smooth running of both individual vehicles and public transportation systems like air, rail and maritime transportation. If truck stops, run down of fuel supplies will occupy the nation. It also bids secondary effects like preventing access to bank, school, hospital, offices etc.,
