Unfazed by the storm, smart guardianship - Outdoor digital signage demonstrates its robust capabilities during Typhoon "Yangliu"
On August 14, 2025, Typhoon Yangliu, a powerful storm, swept across South China, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. The Central Meteorological Observatory issued dual warnings. Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian provinces were hit by heavy rain and even torrential downpours (250 to 280 millimeters), with some areas experiencing short-term heavy precipitation exceeding 70 millimeters, accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds. Under such extreme weather conditions, outdoor facilities in cities faced severe tests. However, the new generation of outdoor digital signage remained stable and operational throughout, serving as an "information lighthouse" in the storm and building a safety barrier for the public.
Waterproof and lightning-proof design
In response to the yellow warning for 8-level short-term strong winds and heavy rain in places like Shenzhen, the outdoor digital signage adopts a military-grade sealed structure and an intelligent temperature control system. The internal precision components are isolated from water penetration. The lightning protection circuit design effectively resists the interference of strong convective weather, ensuring that the screen remains illuminated during thunderstorms.
Disaster Relief Power Supply System
Taking into account the risk of power fluctuations caused by typhoons, the equipment is equipped with dual power supply + backup power. Even in the event of a sudden power outage, it can still maintain the operation of core functions for more than 12 hours, leaving sufficient time for emergency information transmission.
When multiple areas issue red alerts for heavy rain, outdoor digital signage quickly switches to the mode for disseminating disaster prevention information:
Real-time updates on typhoon paths (such as the west-northward moving path of "Yang Liu"), areas affected by heavy rain, and disaster avoidance guidelines;
The traffic control department coordinated with the relevant departments to identify the waterlogged sections (such as the low-lying areas inspected by the Shenzhen traffic police drones), and directed vehicles to take evasive action.
Play the dynamic updates of the meteorological department's disaster investigation (such as the actual situation of post-disaster handling in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province) in a continuous loop to enhance public security and confidence.
In regions where thunderstorms occur frequently in various countries, the equipment still ensures the accurate delivery of business information:
The business district signs can intelligently adjust their brightness, ensuring that the advertisement images remain clearly visible even during heavy rain.
The bus stop signs integrate real-time weather warnings (such as lightning protection prompts for rainstorms in Beijing), enhancing the efficiency of citizens' travel.
The community screen broadcasts information on post-disaster reconstruction and conveys positive energy of the city's resilience.
During the passage of a typhoon, the meteorological department remained on duty throughout the night to "strengthen the first line of defense against disasters". Outdoor digital signage is an extension of this defense line. Its 7×24-hour stable operation makes it:
✅ The "information amplifier" for government emergency command
✅ The "real-time lookout tower" for citizens' emergency decisions
✅ The "uninterrupted window" for urban commercial vitality
Standing firm in the face of wind and rain reveals one's true sense of responsibility.
It is not merely a screen; it is also a technological shield for smart cities in their battle against disasters - unafraid of extreme weather, unyielding to environmental challenges, solely to illuminate a never-extinguished light at the moment you need it most.
