History records and the facts of our days systematically remind us of the destructive phenomena occurring in different parts of the planet, disrupting everyday life and destroying everything in its path, sparing nothing and no one. Anything that man can think of is wrong is not worth a penny in the abnormal phenomena called "natural disasters." in this material, we will give some recommendations on the rules of conduct in natural disasters. Now a few words about how to use night vision devices you can save your life and your loved ones.

How night vision can save your life during a natural disaster

First of all, you need to learn: that any natural disaster is a disaster. After all, disasters occur unexpectedly—earthquakes, fires, accidents at power plants, enterprises providing life support to settlements, etc. And to pick up a specific type of night vision device is impossible. And in what situation to use a night vision device - you choose especially because it is not a cheap pleasure.

Night vision devices can be of several types. The operating principle of the classic device is based on the transformation of infrared radiation. To distinguish the object the device aims at, the latter must be minimally illuminated. Starlight, car lights, and snow reflections are enough. The image is amplified and transmitted to you. In the latest models of the device, the signal is amplified tens of thousands of times. These models of night vision devices will help you in a critical situation, in ruined emergency residential buildings, in the absence of light, with no explicit reference points of exit to a safe area, saving your life and those around you. Thanks to the night vision device, you get a lifetime bonus. It's a full-fledged vision in pitch darkness.

If we are talking about natural disasters, then we should remember another indispensable device for saving lives in such situations. It is a thermal imaging camera. Often these cameras are used by rescue workers and firefighters. These devices are beneficial for smoke-filled rooms and rescue missions to locate people in the rubble, buried underground, and trapped in basements. Thermal imaging cameras help make critical decisions faster by remotely sensing the temperature of flames and nearby objects. For general understanding, any heat emitted by a living thing, including humans and animals, is detected by an infrared camera by clearly indicating the object's location. For this purpose, directional infrared radiation is used, part of the light spectrum, and is not visible to the naked eye. After all, everybody and the surface has its radiation, part of which is infrared, applicable for non-contact temperature measurement.

With such devices, you can save your life in an emergency and help keep it for others.

How to behave in natural disasters

There is no doubt that this natural phenomenon is beyond human control. Everything happens spontaneously, or rather lightning-fast, from a few seconds to a few months. Regardless of the duration of the disaster, time is of no importance.  In that instant, the destruction reaches a colossal scale. And the fight against the elements aimed primarily at minimizing human casualties. So how do you confront disasters, and what to do when they occur? First of all, a few common tips are often neglected. Be sure to follow the instructions of the local headquarters created for such cases. If you are flooded, turn off the gas and electricity, block doors and windows, climb to the upper floors, taking warm clothes, food and documents. If an earthquake threatens, locate near load-bearing walls and do not use the elevator. In a snowstorm, stay off the streets and stock up on food, water, and fuel. In a storm or hurricane, take shelter in a basement. If you are outside at this time, try to find natural refuge in a hollow, but in no way use trees, walls, towers, or the like for shelter—one more thing. Don't forget to let the animals out of the premises and release the dogs from their leashes. These cases are united by one common requirement - it is necessary to have a previously prepared set of necessities for survival and rescue. As a rule, it is always collected as an afterthought without giving it any importance.

We have tried to dot only a few points, a big problem. It all depends on you, but, most importantly, in all situations, do not panic!

So what to choose?

Essentially, we've looked at two different technologies you can use to save your life during disasters. However, you have to remember that the thermal method usually has a smaller range that it can "look at" unless you invest in high-quality equipment. Even then, lightning flashes or power surges will blind you. The other way has to do with ambient light amplification. Lightning flashes and power surges in a thunderstorm will also dazzle you. Therefore, when buying a night vision device, you need to understand that each new generation entails improvements and extensions of the gadget's capabilities. It also affects the price. The ideal option before the final choice is to agree with the seller about the possibility of testing the device in natural conditions, as sometimes engaged in promoting the device on the market, some manufacturers overestimate the specifications and capabilities of devices for advertising purposes. Therefore, a few tips won't hurt. If you don't expect a very high-quality picture from the device, buy one that you like the look of. If you want better, especially in the first generation, choose a lens with a minimum aperture of at least 1.5. Choose a manufacturer with a lot of experience in producing this device, do not hesitate to analyze and listen to reviews about it, and look at sales statistics. And of course, the obligations of warranty and post-warranty service on the manufactured products should put a point in the choice and purchase.
