How do walkie-talkies play a role in emergency rescue operations?
The recent Los Angeles fire is heartbreaking. The fire has caused unimaginable losses to every family in Los Angeles. Disasters are inevitable. What we can do is to protect ourselves when disasters occur, increase rescue opportunities, and reduce losses. Disasters can cause communication signal loss, information errors, etc. At this time, walkie-talkies play an irreplaceable role. So how do walkie-talkies work in emergencies? Let's take a look.
1. Seek help nearby
When traveling outdoors or acting alone, if you encounter an emergency and cannot move, you can use a walkie-talkie to report your safety and the general situation of your location to the other party through the amateur frequency you usually use, increasing the chance of being rescued. Carry a HAM radio with you when you go out to play, so that nearby amateur radio enthusiasts can help each other.
2. Temporary emergency communication
When a disaster occurs, HAM enthusiasts can gather into a team to provide temporary emergency communication services. Amateur radio enthusiasts get together to develop personal self-help communication into emergency communication for public services. On the basis of handheld radio, cooperate with medium and long distance CB Radio, relay, and shortwave radio to expand the communication distance and frequency band, establish communication with the outside world, and provide communication guarantee for some spontaneous disaster relief activities and teams.
3. Scan for help
When we are in danger, if the mobile phone cannot be used and there is no satellite phone at hand, then the walkie-talkie is a good tool for you to communicate and ask for help. Walkie-talkies are not restricted by base stations. Some rescue teams and public service departments may use radio stations with adjacent frequencies. At this time, you can use the scanning function of the walkie-talkie to transmit signals to adjacent frequencies.
