Emergency takeoff! Application of tethered drones in earthquake relief

  Recently, a 6.2 magnitude earthquake occurred in Jishishan, Gansu, which has attracted widespread attention from society. After the earthquake, local emergency rescue work was immediately launched, and firefighters from all over the country also carried various rescue equipment to rush to Gansu. Among them, tethered drones were used to restore emergency communication networks in signal interrupted disaster areas, and lighting was provided for night rescue etc., which received widespread attention and praise from society. With the rapid development of China's drone industry, the application of tethered drones in various industries is becoming increasingly widespread, especially in the fields of emergency rescue and fire relief, where their technological advantages are becoming increasingly prominent.

Today we will talk about the application of tethered drones in earthquake relief.

1. Wide area monitoring of disaster areas

The terrain and landforms in our country are complex and diverse, and geological disasters occur frequently. Tethered drones are flexible and convenient. It has high image resolution, can stay in the air for a long time and maneuver over a large area, and can provide reliable support for timely investigation of large-scale disaster situations, traffic conditions, and potential secondary disasters after earthquakes. They can also ensure the safety of operators and avoid casualties.

2. Emergency aerial survey and aerial photography

Earthquakes have the characteristic of suddenness, and the key to earthquake emergency rescue is rapid response. Tethered drones have the characteristics of strong real-time performance, flexible maneuverability, high image resolution, low cost, and high safety. They can operate in high-risk airspace after disasters, allowing the command department to grasp the situation in the disaster area in the first time.

3. Emergency communication support

When an earthquake occurs, the communication infrastructure in the disaster area is severely damaged, and it is necessary to restore the communication capacity of the disaster area as soon as possible. Tethered drones can carry emergency communication relay station equipment, quickly establish mobile aerial communication base stations at disaster sites, quickly restore communication between emergency rescue personnel and the outside world, and provide safe and reliable communication support for disaster site rescue.

4. Frontline direct support

Tethered drones can be directly deployed to disaster areas, and even assigned to disaster relief teams, providing on-demand and flying support for local disaster assessment, rescue of trapped personnel, search for victims, and other important auxiliary roles such as aerial communication and lighting.
