In absence of a stretcher, suggest three ways to improvise stretchers to evacuate injured people.

Answer:

Three ways to improvise a stretcher:

Hand stretchers can be used. Two persons can form a seat by holding each other's wrists. With this patient can be shifted over a short distance.

Upper garments, e.g., coats, jackets can be used as stretchers with the help of rods. Insert rood through the sleeves in succession for three or four garments.

Ladders and ropes can be, used as stretchers, and are commonly available. If there is a rope and two rods or only a rope, stretcher can be made.
