One effective idea for how rescue workers can get energy to their electrical devices in emergency or disaster situations is to use portable solar chargers.

Why Portable Solar Chargers?

• Renewable energy source: Solar chargers harness sunlight, which is often available even when other power sources are down.
• Portability: Many solar chargers are lightweight and compact, making them easy to carry in rescue kits.
• Independence from fuel: Unlike gas generators, solar chargers don’t require fuel, which can be scarce or dangerous to store.
• Multiple device compatibility: Modern solar chargers come with USB ports and adapters to power phones, radios, GPS devices, and medical equipment.

How Rescue Workers Can Use Them

• Set up solar panels in open areas to maximize sunlight exposure.
• Use solar power banks to store energy during the day for use at night or in low-light conditions.
• Combine with energy-efficient devices to extend operational time.

This approach helps ensure that critical communication and navigation tools stay powered, improving rescue effectiveness and safety.
