Dear collegues

We are searching for a more recent and accurate alternative to Maslow's motivation model (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivation) as a starting point for indicators of basic human needs to visualize progress in disaster assistance in the context of humanitarian aid. There is for instance the International Definition and Mesurement of Levels of Living, an Interim Guide, New York 1961, but it is unfortunaltely rather outdated. I am grateful for any hint...
