"In order to realize the true value of a drone’s
capabilities, Drone Pilots and SAR authorities from the Incident Commander (IC)
on down need to gain experience by employing drones on actual SAR operations
and in training. Only then will you realize that drones provide another
tool in the toolbox for the Incident Commanders that can and will prove
invaluable"
A search and rescue drone used by emergency services,
such as police officers, firefighters or volunteer rescue teams, is ideal for
searching over vast areas for missing persons and crime victims in need of
rescue and in any environment. Search times can be significantly
reduced while limiting potential risk to the party being rescued as well as
rescuers. There are many options and benefits to using drones for search and
rescue.
Water Search and Rescue
Over the past few year, there has been an increasing
interest in using Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) or Drones in support of water
search and rescue. Regardless of the
type of water from flood, river, swiftwater, coastal, ocean or surf, a drone can
be another valuable tool in your toolbox to effectively, efficiently and most
important of all safely conduct water search and rescue operations.
However, there is little evidence that they are used in a
structured and strategic manner to best effect. An effective response is
essential if lives are to be saved and suffering alleviated.
With a lifetime in coastal, ocean, surf and swiftwater rescue, survival and instructing, and over ten years in drone operations for public safety. EMMU Aerial
can help your agency evaluate how UAS can be used in the preparation for, and
response for all water search and rescue emergencies. We can also provide assistance with all your
training requirements and develops standard operating procedures (SOP) for
their deployment before, during and after an event.
