Drone for Disaster Management- How Drones are Used for Emergency Response

First responder drones play a crucial role in rapidly assessing disaster scenes, locating missing persons, monitoring hazardous environments, and providing real-time situational awareness to emergency personnel.

Overview

The world has multiple remote and inaccessible areas due to its unique topography and hence requires robust disaster management systems and processes to control loss of life and property in the event of a natural calamity. During a disaster, the time taken to respond to the situation is of utmost importance. Any delay may lead to loss of human lives and irreversible damages.

Industry Challenges

Disaster Surveillance

One of the major challenges of disaster surveillance is that many routine surveillance systems may not provide the information necessary to assess needs or identify disease or injury patterns. This occurs in both natural and human-made disasters.

Operational Challenge

Disasters present special circumstances in which surveillance may be difficult, and during which routine systems may not be functional or accessible because of the circumstances.

Technology Challenges

As technologies continue to emerge, the potential for using new data collection systems can be one of the challenges which increase the ability to initiate and maintain surveillance systems early in the course of a disaster.
