Ukukhangela kwe-Avalanche kunye nokuhlangula izinja emsebenzini koqeqesho lokuhambisa ngokukhawuleza
Inkqubo ye-Colorado Rapid Avalanche Deployment ibone inxaxheba enkulu yokukhangela kunye nokuhlangula izinja kunye nabaphathi bazo ukuze baqhube iiseshoni zoqeqesho.
I-C-RAD (I-Colorado Rapid Avalanche Deployment) yinkqubo engenzi nzuzo leyo izithuthi i-avalanche ukukhangela kunye nokuhlangula izinja ukwenza umsebenzi ophumelele we-SAR ezintabeni. Eli lithuba lokuqeqesha kunye nabafundisi-ntsapho abahamba phambili kwihlabathi liphela ukusuka e-US nase-Canada.
Ibali le-C-RAD lisuselwa kwiingcambu zalo kwingozi eyenzakalisayo ngaphakathi Summit County ngo-1987, apho i-avalanche enkulu yavula amehlo omntu wonke ngesidingo sokuba namaqela ezinja anokukwazi ukuphendula ngokukhawuleza kwiziganeko ezinjalo. Ukusukela ngoko, ukwenziwa ngokusemthethweni kunye noqeqesho kubalulekile kwimeko yokwahlulwa komhlaba.
Inkqubo yenzelwe ukubonelela ngeendlela ezintsha zokuzihlangula kunye nezakhono ezisisiseko. Amaqela anamava okuthunyelwa ngaphambili kunye neenjana ezintsha kwimisebenzi yokuhlangula bathathe inxaxheba kule seshoni yoqeqesho eWindy Point Campground kufutshane ne-Swan Mountain Road. Le nkqubo ibandakanya isiseko kunye nemisebenzi enzima ngakumbi.
Elona candelo libalulekileyo nelucelomngeni kuqeqesho lube yimishini yehelikopta. Abaqeqeshi kwafuneka benze uphando kunye nokuhlangula izinja ziqhelanise ngeenqwelomoya kunye nomoya ohamba ngeenqwelo moya kwaye izinja zikhululeke ngakumbi kwizithuthi eziphakamileyo neziphazamisayo. Ukungena nokuphuma kwihelikopta kuye kwaba ngumceli mngeni omkhulu, kodwa kubathathi-nxaxheba, ithuba lokuziqeqesha ngezinto ezinjengeehelikopta zamkelekile.
Ukongeza, uqeqesho, olufana nolu, lunceda ukubonelela ngethuba elihle lokukhangela kunye nokuhlangula izinja kunye nabaqeqeshi ukunceda ukwakha ukuthembana. Oku kubaluleke kakhulu xa kukhangelwa abantu abalahlekileyo. Izinja zokukhangela kunye nokuhlangula kufuneka zive zikhuselekile kwaye zikhululekile ukusebenza ukuze zenze ngokusemandleni azo kwimeko ye-avalanche.
