This panel will cover best practices for drones used in emergency response. Drones have a crucial and demanding role to play when it comes to supporting disaster response. As drones provide an aerial vantage point which help cover large amounts of ground, using drones can give first responders the information they need to find open roads and locate survivors. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, how will public safety and emergency managers plan and respond differently for disasters? Panelists will go over preparedness, tips for response, and recovery.
