When a natural or human-made disaster hits, it is vital to get aid in place immediately. Evacuating the injured and providing first aid are critical first steps in relief operations. Rescue work is often performed when terrestrial cellular services are unavailable. So, it’s vital to build dedicated and new information and communication emergency systems immediately when no other networks are available.
Save lives by communicating effectively
At a field hospital, treatment in the first hour – the golden hour - is crucial to patient survival. That’s why hospital workers must be informed early about the nature of injuries, allowing them to prepare. This can save up to half an hour of that crucial first life-saving 60 minutes.
Protect your workers and communicate internationally
Relief operations are typically long-term, extensive and include many phases and numerous parties from different countries. With a TETRA network from Airbus, you can safely connect and manage all involved national and international authorities, humanitarian aid organisations or civil defence organisations and volunteers. Reliable communications help to protect those in need, as well as their rescuers.
Prepare in advance
Floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, drought, tornadoes and riots or human-caused disasters happen suddenly. You need to be prepared well in advance. The best option is a ready-configured and packed container with all rescue necessities, including a working and secured TETRA radio communications system - for example, the Deployable TETRA solution. When the worst happens, you and your communications network will be ready.
