On September 19, 2024, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck Mexico. The entire city was devastated, countless people were trapped under the rubble, rescue was extremely difficult, and the number of casualties continued to rise. In such a desperate situation, both the self-protection of the trapped people and the safety of the rescuers during rescue operations have put forward extremely high requirements for protective equipment.
1. “superpangol” professional insight and precise solution
Protection during earthquakes
Based on professional research on earthquake disasters, we know that every second during an earthquake is a matter of life and death. In indoor scenarios, it is recommended that people quickly hide under solid furniture such as tables and hold the table legs tightly with both hands. This can provide a certain amount of support when the building shakes to avoid being directly hit by falling heavy objects; at the same time, use cushions and pillows to protect the head and neck. These soft items can buffer the impact of falling bricks and stones, and stay away from windows, glass doors and other fragile and easy-to-fall dangerous parts to prevent being scratched by flying glass fragments.
In outdoor environments, high-rise buildings, billboards, and telephone poles are very easy to collapse under the impact of earthquakes. People must rush to safe areas such as open squares as soon as possible to stay away from these “time bombs” to ensure their own safety.
Epidemic prevention after an earthquake
Post-earthquake epidemic prevention is a war without gunpowder but equally urgent. Drinking water safety is the first priority. Since earthquakes may damage the water supply system and cause water pollution, water must be purified and boiled to kill bacteria. Drinking untreated raw water must be strictly prohibited, otherwise it is very easy to cause health problems such as intestinal diseases.
In terms of food supply, food soaked in sewage and moldy and spoiled food hide a large number of bacteria and molds, which can cause serious consequences such as food poisoning after consumption. Canned food, dry food and other sealed packaging and food within the shelf life should be selected to ensure food safety.
The cleaning of the living environment cannot be ignored. Ruins and debris should be cleaned up in time to reduce the breeding environment of bacteria. Chlorine-containing disinfectants should be used regularly to disinfect temporary settlements and living tents to kill potential bacteria. In terms of personal hygiene, wash hands frequently. When there is no running water, alcohol-containing hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes are convenient and effective cleaning tools. If someone is injured, wound treatment must race against time, and timely debridement, disinfection, and bandaging should be carried out to prevent wound infection from worsening.
2. “Superpangol” protective product matrix
Seismic helmet: It adopts the new high-strength composite material developed by the company’s scientific research team. After multiple rounds of rigorous seismic tests, its seismic performance far exceeds similar products. The unique structural design can not only effectively withstand the violent impact of falling bricks and stones, and provide all-round protection for the head, but also has good breathability when worn for a long time, so that users will not feel stuffy and uncomfortable. Whether it is rescuers going deep into the ruins for rescue or trapped people avoiding secondary injuries in a small space, they can rely on it with peace of mind.
Protective gloves: It can be called a “magic weapon” for rescue, integrating the three key functions of anti-slip, wear resistance, and puncture resistance. The carefully designed super-strong anti-slip texture on the palm allows rescuers to have super strong grip and be as stable as Mount Tai when carrying heavy objects and climbing ruins; the high-strength anti-puncture material used on the back of the hand is not afraid of the “sneak attack” of sharp objects in the ruins, effectively preventing hand injuries; the overall wear resistance ensures that the gloves are durable in high-intensity rescue operations, greatly improving rescue efficiency and safety.
Emergency protection kit: To meet the all-round protection needs of the affected people, we launched an emergency protection kit, including earthquake-resistant helmets, multi-functional protective gloves, protective goggles, first aid kits, etc. Protective goggles can prevent dust and sand from flying into the eyes. The first aid kit is equipped with common medicines, disinfectants, bandages, etc., which are all available to provide a one-stop protection solution for the affected people in the complex post-earthquake environment.
“Superpangol” protective products company always pays attention to the disaster situation, technology research and development does not stop, and the production line is on standby at any time. These “life-saving” protective products will be sent to the disaster area as soon as possible, and with professionalism and love, accompany the Mexican people to overcome the disaster and rebuild their homes. Because Superpangol protection, guarding life, has never been absent!
