- Fast triple or fast drone? (8)
In Poland, on average, more than 30 disappearances are reported to the police per day. Whenever it is about the disappearance of a person - it should be understood as a situation in which there is a high probability that as a result of unfavorable events the person (or several people) has lost the ability to determine their location, they have no possibility of contact with other people, and a situation in which is located, may cause a sudden threat to life or health (Principles of organization of search and rescue activities in KSRG). However, it should be remembered that in the case of search for missing persons, the passage of time is never an ally. However, old, proven methods (e.g. fast search three) supported by modern technologies can be extremely helpful in actions.

- Protection against static electricity during chemical and ecological rescue operations (44)
Today, static electricity is a commonly known phenomenon, although the danger associated with its formation is not always noticed. As a result of contacting and then separating or rubbing against each other two bodies that are insulators, a negative charge is created on one surface, and a positive charge on the other. The type of charge generated and the degree of electrification depend on the type of material. Charges can arise, for example, when walking on an insulating floor covering. In this case, the footwear and the whole body will be negatively charged, and the carpets will be positively. Electrification also applies to non-conductive liquids. Most often it occurs during the flow through pipelines, filling and emptying of tanks (in particular when combined with splashing), waving of the liquid in a moving tank, spraying, mixing, filtering, etc. The phenomenon of electrification can occur even when pouring various liquids.
