🏔️ Evacuating Tourists During Natural Calamities by Helicopter – How It’s Done
Discover how evacuating tourists during natural calamities by helicopter works in India. Learn the real process, challenges, and how DreamSafar.in supports air rescue missions.
🚁 Introduction: When Nature Strikes, Helicopters Save Lives
Tourists often find themselves stranded in India’s most scenic yet vulnerable locations—mountain passes, forests, islands, and riverbanks—when natural disasters hit. Floods, earthquakes, landslides, and cyclones leave roads cut off and mobile networks down.
That’s when evacuating tourists during natural calamities by helicopter becomes the fastest and sometimes the only life-saving solution. At DreamSafar.in, we specialize in such missions.
🚨 Common Natural Calamities That Require Helicopter Evacuation
-
🏞️ Landslides in Uttarakhand, Himachal, and North Bengal
-
🌊 Floods in Sundarbans, Assam, and Bihar
-
🌪️ Cyclones along the Odisha, Andhra, and West Bengal coast
-
🏔️ Snowstorms trapping tourists in Sikkim, Kashmir, and Leh
-
🌋 Earthquakes in hilly zones or tribal villages
🚁 Steps Involved in Evacuating Tourists by Helicopter During Disasters
✅ 1. Location Mapping & SOS Collection
-
DreamSafar.in receives alerts from tour operators, hotels, forest departments, or family members
-
Tourists’ GPS or last known location is mapped using satellite or drone input
✅ 2. Clearance from Rescue Authorities
-
We coordinate with:
-
State Disaster Response Force (SDRF)
-
National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA)
-
Air Traffic Control (ATC)
-
-
Special permissions are taken to enter restricted airspace or disaster zones
✅ 3. Helicopter Launch with Medical & Rescue Crew
-
Our helicopter is equipped with:
-
Emergency kits, water, first-aid, blankets
-
Stretchers and medical crew for trauma or hypothermia victims
-
Fuel reserves for return trips or multiple lifts
-
✅ 4. Hover or Ground Pickup Based on Terrain

In case of open space: landing and pickup

In dense forest or broken terrain: hover + winch basket rescue
Tourists are grouped based on urgency—injured, elderly, or women/children are lifted first.
✅ 5. Transfer to Safe Zones or Medical Facilities
Depending on the situation:
-
Tourists are flown to nearest safe helipads or disaster shelters

Injured or sick tourists are taken directly to designated hospitals

🧩 Key Challenges in Tourist Evacuation by Helicopter
🌦️ Weather Dependency
Storms, fog, or wind can delay or limit helicopter use.
🛬 Lack of Landing Zones
Many tourist spots lack dedicated helipads. Temporary landing areas must be prepared.

Poor mobile connectivity hampers location sharing and group coordination.
