In this current, food distribution, clinics, wellness spaces, popular education, and energy systems are not only temporary emergency measures. They are part of a <a href="../../../../../../../terms/dual-power.md" class="link-internal">dual power</a> strategy of building capacities people can continue to use beyond the immediate crisis [@madrabout2025; @madrprograms2024].</p> <h2 id="survival-infrastructure"><a href="#survival-infrastructure" class="heading-anchor" aria-label="Link to this section">¶</a>Survival infrastructure </h2> <p>Mutual Aid Disaster Relief&rsquo;s language of <a href="../../../terms/survival-programs.md" class="link-internal">survival programs</a> makes this current explicit.
