As drones become increasingly integrated into emergency response, new use cases keep emerging. From helping to respond to widespread crises such as wildfires and the COVID-19 pandemic, to dealing with smaller-scale emergencies like mountain rescue missions, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) continue to demonstrate their value working alongside emergency professionals.

In this webinar, we looked at the tried and tested use cases from across the globe, as well as those that will be on the agenda for 2021 and beyond. You may be thinking: but how would I go about setting up a drones programme in my emergency organisation? Our speakers provided valuable practical advice and case study examples of integrating drones within emergency management.

Drone use has been showing true humanitarian value. Carrying this humanitarian value forward, drones have also begun to show their value in lives saved by preventing humans from entering into dangerous situations or stopping a chain of events that would have led to an injury or death. Wayne Baker explored these lifesaving use cases and provide important insights for emergency services’ use of drones.

In 2020, the CGDIS (Fire and Rescue Service, Luxembourg) created a specialised intervention group to manage the operations of unmanned aircraft systems, unmanned grounds vehicles and information and communication technologies. Marc Storck presented the implementation of this programme, including the advantages and challenges of the merger. He explained practical elements such as risk analysis, training and knowledge sharing among commanders, as well as gave details on the relevant use cases.
