Local people initiated the practice and were familiar with it!
I selected a case study from the Philippines to highlight. It is a rather simple concept--people formed "mutual-help" groups to work on labor-intensive agroforestry projects. The key to success was that "Local people initiated the practice and were familiar with it."!

Flu teams
In the event of a pandemic flu that is spread from person-to-person, I would try to organize neighborhood flu teams. People will need to be isolated in their homes, so it would be useful to have teams of healthy people who could deliver goods and food and provide services to the sick or those at high risk of becoming sick. There could be a simple online sign up where high-risk/sick people could register for help and where healthy neighbors could view the requests.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
