Ukusesha izinja kwe-Avalanche nokutakula izinja emsebenzini wokuqeqeshwa ngokushesha ukuthunyelwa
Uhlelo lweColorado Rapid Avalanche Deployment lubambe iqhaza elikhulu ekusesheni kwe-avalanche kanye nezinja zokutakula nabaphathi bazo ukuze baqhubeke nezikhathi zokuziqeqesha.
I-C-RAD (I-Colorado Rapid Avalanche Deployment) uhlelo olungenzi inzuzo ol izitimela i-avalanche sesha futhi usindise izinja ukwenza imisebenzi yokuphumelela ye-SAR ezintabeni. Leli yithuba lokuziqeqesha nabafundisi abahamba phambili emhlabeni abavela kulo lonke elase-US naseCanada.
Indaba yeC-RAD isusele izimpande zayo engozini ebuhlungu ku Summit County ngo-1987, lapho i-avalanche enkulu ivule wonke umuntu amehlo ngesidingo sokuba namaqembu ezinja angasabela ngokushesha ezigamekweni ezinjengalezo. Kusukela lapho, ukwenziwa ngokusemthethweni nokuqeqeshwa kubalulekile uma kwenzeka kuba khona i-avalanche.
Uhlelo luhloselwe ukuhlinzeka ngamasu amasha wokutakula amasha namakhono amasha. Amaqembu anolwazi lokuthunyelwa kanye nemidlwane emisha ekusizeni imisebenzi ahlanganyele kulesi sikhathi sokuqeqeshwa eWindy Point Campground ngaseswan Swan Mountain Road. Lolu hlelo lufaka isisekelo kanye nemisebenzi eyinselele ngokwengeziwe.
Ingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu futhi inselele yokuqeqeshwa kube yimishini ye-helikopta. Abaqeqeshi kwadingeka benze izinja zokusesha nokutakula bazijwayeze ngezindiza nangohambo lwendiza futhi wenze izinja zikhululeke kakhulukazi eduze kwezimoto ezinomsindo neziphazamisayo. Ukungena nokuphuma endizeni enophephela emhlane bekuyinselelo enkulu, kepha kubahlanganyeli, ithuba lokuziqeqesha ngezinto ezinjengezindiza ezinophephela emhlane liyinto eyamukelekayo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuqeqeshwa, njengalesi, kusiza ukuhlinzeka ngethuba elikhulu lezinja zokufuna nokusindisa kanye nabaqeqeshi ukusiza ukwakha ukwethembana komunye nomunye. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu lapho kuseshwa abantu abalahlekile. Izinja zokusesha nezokutakula kumele zizizwe ziphephile futhi zikhululekile ukusebenza ukuze zenze okusemandleni azo esimweni se-avalanche.
