During the times of crisis, most of the services close down one right after the other, and also the telecom industry is seriously effected. There maybe a loss of connection for days across cities and districts and it is highly difficult to stay connected to anyone even if they live very close to each other. Walkie talkies prove useful in such situations,  it gives the real-time communication to others

At the time of a natural disaster like flood or tornado, most of the communications infrastructure- all the towers come crashing and when in crises other systems do not support are destroyed, thus no telephonic connection can be established. So, in such scenarios, the walkie-talkies are capable to form communication within moderate distance and they are also not tower dependent, unlike mobile phone signals. Such walkie-talkies should and must be incorporated in any rescue plan and the organization must take a note of this that each and every staff person must be trained to access this radio system. The speaker and microphone are side by side to make ease for respondents. They are light weight and easy to carry. The rescue team can use it even when in locomotion.

The battery used in them is just normal and it can be changed with a portable battery of torch light. For maintaining a proper transmission the batteries should be frequently checked. The battery life is although prolonged one i.e. minimum 10-12 hours. A special note should be taken that these don’t give proper results at humid weather or when their range is obstructed by vegetation. They can be efficient in dry weather. Moreover, if a hill or any such mountain acts as a stumbling block in its path and they lose their connection.

These radios work during the crisis because they don’t need any sort of telecom infrastructure like wires and towers. They can simply connect through a suitable frequency their antenna catches or you can snap your fingers and switch the frequency for better results. But sometimes the network becomes so chaotic that frequency must be prioritized by the team.

Chierda long-range walkie-talkies are amongst the best buy in the market.  Users can choose from a range of walkie-talkies to be prepared for all kinds of crisis and must have a pair handy. In case a family is interested in buying a pair, they must always keep their kids trained in using the walkie-talkie.
