夏季来临
The weather is gradually getting warmer
Elderly people in the family
I also like to go out and around more
The police situation of the elderly going missing is also relatively high
Lost in the streets
It's always very worrying
But more important than looking is prevention
The octogenarian hiked 15 kilometers alone
At about 16 o'clock on May 6, Ms. Lou hurried to the Yuqian Police Station to call the police for help: Uncle Lou, an 85-year-old father with Alzheimer's disease, went out for a walk at 6 o'clock in the morning and never returned, asking for help.
After receiving the police, Yuqian Police Station immediately organized police forces to rush to Uncle Lou's house, and the video officer retrieved the surveillance video near her home according to the information provided by Ms. Lou for tracking. Police officer Wang Luyao led the auxiliary police Duan Wenwu and others to take the elderly as the center to radiate around to carefully search, and learned about the relevant situation through visits and investigations.
Due to the lack of surveillance coverage on the country roads near Uncle Lou's house, the search was once deadlocked, and the police force on the road was constantly expanding the search area. At about 23 o'clock, good news came from the video officer, an old man was found near the Changhua River Greenway, and the police Wang Luyao immediately led the team to the Changhua River Greenway. Fortunately, Uncle Lou is in good health.
"Thank you so much, without your search, my dad doesn't know when he will be able to come home." Seeing her father who returned safely, Ms. Lou cried with joy, and the 7-hour anxious search finally came to a successful end.
It turned out that Uncle Lou usually had the habit of walking, but he went out for a walk early that morning but forgot the way home, and walked 15 kilometers from Yu Qian to Changhua, but fortunately the police found it in time.
The ninety-year-old went out alone for 10 hours
Coincidentally, at about 18 o'clock on May 9, the Changbei Police Station received a report from Shuai, a member of the public in the jurisdiction, that his 90-year-old father had gone out alone and had not returned. Shuai told the police that at about 8 o'clock in the morning of the same day, he was going to Lin'an to do something, and asked his old father, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease and had difficulty moving, to stay at home and not go out, but when he returned home at 18 o'clock in the evening, he found that his father had disappeared, and he was worried that his father had an accident so he called the police for help.
After receiving the police, the police Wang Lijun led the auxiliary police officers Hu Lili and Hu Chuyang to the scene, and after visiting and investigating and obtaining video surveillance, it was found that the old man disappeared after walking to the path at the entrance of the village. After more than an hour of searching, the old man who fell to the ground was found on the edge of the cliff about 1 km away from home, and after a preliminary examination, the old man was conscious, but could not stand on his own. The police and rescuers at the scene relayed each other to safely transfer the injured elderly to the ambulance parked at the foot of the mountain. Currently, the elderly man is being treated in the hospital.
How to prevent the elderly from getting lost
❥ Equip the elderly with a wristband with positioning function. The elderly may not be used to wearing the bracelet, or they will take it off, so you can wear the bracelet in a place where the elderly are not easy to feel, such as the belt or belt (where the key is usually placed).
❥ Print reminders on the clothes of the elderly. It can be printed with the name of the elderly, the contact number of the family, etc. The position of the print can be a collar, pocket, cuff and other relatively conspicuous places, but not so much that the elderly are disgusted. It is not advisable to print too much information to prevent it from being used. In addition, it is recommended to add a word of thanks so that strangers who see the message are more likely to reach out to the family.
❥ Say hello to your neighbors and the people around you. Ask them to contact the family in time when they see the elderly alone, or send the elderly home. If you live in a closed community, you should remind the security guard not to allow the elderly to go outside the community alone.
❥ Take pictures of the elderly regularly. In this way, once the elderly go missing, they can provide the police, the media and searchers with the latest photos of the elderly in time, which will help them confirm the information.
❥ The elderly can be equipped with relevant communication equipment. If conditions permit, the elderly can be equipped with corresponding GPS equipment, so that once the elderly are lost, they can roughly find the activity area of the elderly through GPS.
❥ Communicate more and accompany more. When the elderly with limited mobility go out, try to be accompanied by family members and avoid letting them out of the sight of family members.
What to do if the old man gets lost
❥ Call the police in a timely manner and actively cooperate with the police.
❥ Mobilize social forces to participate in the search. For example, mobilize the people around you to spread information, let more people know, and increase the chance of the lost elderly being found.
❥ Participate in the search yourself. You can search according to the surrounding environment and the living habits of the elderly. If it's nighttime, keep an eye out for abandoned houses on the side of the road and other places where you can rest.
