Earthquake in Nepal
Medical, sanitary means… being able to provide a quick response to emergencies is a prerequisite to achieve stability in these disaster zones or affected countries.
Nepal has been hit by a series of earthquakes since April 25th, 2015. The first of them reached a 7.8 magnitude and was felt in New Delhi as well as in the north of India. Several violent aftershocks occurred the following days. The most powerful even reached a magnitude of 7 on May 12th, 2015.
According to the figures released by the UN, the human toll is heavy: at least 8000 people dead and 7953 people injured including more than 300 in Kathmandu ; 57 dead in India, mainly in the oriental state of Bihar, 17 dead in Tibet (China) and 2 dead in Bangladesh. The prime minister of Nepal, Sushil Koirala, declared that th total number of victims could reach 10 000 dead.
The team of PC EQUIPMENT was moved by this terrible earthquake. That’s why we’ve established a list of equipment to face this kind of disaster.
Satellite communication
With the infrastructures being severely hit, it’s extremely difficult for local populations and rescue teams to communicate. That’s why we’ve selected high performance equipment:
Iridium Go Hotspot satellite phone 
This mobile hotspot will allow your smartphones to send data via Iridium satellite network.
Iridium Extrem 9575 satellite phone 
This reliable satellite phone features a GPS and tracking system.
Wideye Sabre1 terminal 
The Wideye Sabre 1 guarantees high speed communications, anywhere, anytime.
Geo-locating people
It’s very complicated for governments to locate their citizens. That’s why we’ve looked for a system that could ease this search.
Inreach emergency communication kit 
Emergency communication and geotracking kit with geotracking box, solar panel and external rechargeable battery..
Evacuation means
Always careful to take the human factor into account, we’ve selected several evacuation systems, among which:
Lift System 
Combined with Combat Carbon Poles, the LIFT ystems can create semi-rigid and rigid litters…
S-Lift System 
6.5 ft long semi-rigid litter with a carrying capacity of 400 lbs. It features 5 carrying straps on each side.
R-Lift system 
A rigid litter made with nylon and a neoprene coating. It is easy to clean and wear resistant.
Combat Carbon Poles 
These collapsible poles are easily integrated to a LIFT carrying system.
