Drones / Air Support

Drones are used frequently in Emergency Service and Disaster Agency response. Drones enable the possibility of quickly surveying and collecting data after a natural disaster. The 3D models and orthophoto maps collected by drones can be used to identify areas that have been damaged, assess the extent of the damage, and plan the reconstruction process. Drones can also be used to transport essential supplies quickly and efficiently, such as medical aid, food, and communication equipment. This helps to expedite relief efforts. In addition, drones are essential in search and rescue missions, providing information needed to identify survivors and guide rescue teams.
