Applications In Emergency Response and Public Safety (Briefing Charts)

Abstract

UAVs are tools in search of the right problems to fix! UAVs can support all four phase of emergency response. UAVs can support all response disciplines (Fire, SAR, EMS, Police). UAVs can save lives, property, response and recovery coasts. UAVs are a reasonably low cost solution for disaster communications, capabilities and situational awareness (SA). UAVs are emerging into domestic emergency response and management (they are here to stay). Civil emergency response and management agencies need to learn more about the application and capabilities of all types of unmanned systems. The vehicles are only one part of the system. Pilot/operator controls, instrumentation packages, and the ability to interface the data received to other existing systems is also critical. We are rapidly approaching a time when it may be unethical to put humans in danger if unmanned systems can accomplish the same function.
