Solutions for saving lives
Saving lives through innovation
Innovative technologies have already transformed the way emergency responses to natural and man-made disasters are conducted. Satellite imagery and advanced sensors are used to locate people stranded in hazardous conditions. Drones are deployed to survey disaster-stricken areas. Emergency communication devices ensure that stranded people can still receive timely assistance where traditional communication networks might fail.
Through the development of such advanced technologies, the security industry helps to save people in life-threatening situations. As climate change aggravates the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, such search and rescue operations and disaster management become increasingly important.
