Valuable shelter in natural disasters

          On the vast and boundless stage of nature, natural disasters, with their unpredictable power, often stage a scene of shocking tragedy and comedy. They are either as violent as the wind and rain, or as shocking as the earth shaking, and every time they come, it is a severe test of human society and the natural environment.

          In natural disasters, farmland, houses, roads, bridges and other infrastructures are severely damaged, affecting the lives and production of local residents. This is when inflatable tents play a vital role, providing invaluable shelter and support to the affected people and rescuers.

          Inflatable tents have a wide range of applicable scenarios in natural disasters, they can quickly respond to disaster needs and provide timely help and protection to the affected people. After natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, many residents' houses may be seriously damaged or even collapsed, resulting in a large number of people being homeless. At this time, inflatable tents can be quickly set up as temporary shelters to provide a sheltered, safe and warm living environment for the affected people. Medical treatment is one of the first tasks, inflatable tents can be quickly set up as a temporary medical treatment point for the injured people to provide emergency medical treatment services. It can also be set up as a temporary emergency command center to provide a centralized office, command and coordination place for the rescuers. In the rescue process, a large number of materials need to be properly stored, inflatable tents can be used as a temporary storage warehouse to protect the safety of rescue materials. It can also set up temporary epidemic prevention and isolation areas, temporary schools, temporary canteens, temporary warehouses and other facilities to provide more comprehensive life protection for the affected people.

         Why can inflatable tents respond widely and quickly to the needs of disasters? First of all, the inflatable tent adopts the characteristics of gas pressure, through the inflatable pump will be inflated to form the airbag with a certain rigidity of the column, after the organic combination of inflatable tents to support the skeleton. This design makes the process of setting up extremely easy, usually only need a person to operate, using an electric inflatable pump or foot inflatable pump for inflation, can be completed in a few minutes, greatly saving time and labor costs. Similarly, the dismantling process is also very convenient, just release the gas inside the tent, it can be easily folded and packed for subsequent transportation and storage.

           Compared with traditional metal support tents, inflatable tents are compact and lightweight in the uninflated state, which can be easily put into vehicles for transportation, helping to improve the transportation efficiency, and can be quickly delivered to the disaster area by air-dropping, etc., even in complex terrain conditions.

          The inflatable tent has a very high structural strength and is produced using a process that combines adhesive bonding and high-frequency heat bonding to ensure the sealing and stability of the air columns. This process makes the inflatable tent not easy to leak during use, and can keep it in use for a longer period of time. It can be used for a long time after a single inflation, without frequent maintenance. The airbag can be used for 7 days without air leakage, which greatly extends the service life of the tent.

          Meanwhile, the fabric material of the inflatable tent is mostly made of Oxford cloth, PVC coated cloth and other high-strength, waterproof, flame-proof and UV-resistant materials. These materials not only ensure the durability of the tent, but also enhance its waterproof, moisture-proof and sun-proof performance. Meanwhile, the waterproof bottom is 150mm higher than traditional bracket tents, which more effectively strengthens the waterproof performance of the inflatable emergency rescue tent. It can also be kept in good working condition in wet or rainy environment. Moreover, the inflatable tent adopts double-layer tarpaulin hollow design principle, which greatly improves the thermal performance of the tent. In cold weather conditions, it will be able to provide a warmer shelter for the affected people.

          These advantages make inflatable tents one of the important and indispensable materials for disaster relief work. With the continuous progress of technology and material innovation, the performance and applicability of inflatable tents will be further improved to provide more reliable protection against natural disasters. Natural disasters are relentless but not terrible. As long as we remain vigilant, active response, solidarity will be able to overcome all the difficulties and challenges usher in a better tomorrow.
