    S1E4 - Drones For Good - Natural Disasters
    2025/01/28
    In this episode, we dive into the critical topic of drones for good, specifically their use in natural disasters. We explore how drones and other reality capture tools like laser scanners, LiDAR, and thermal drones are being used in emergency response, prevention, and recovery efforts. Join us as we discuss the positive impact of these technologies, including mapping, logistics, and real-time data collection. We also address the importance of drone regulations and the need for responsible flying, emphasizing the significance of TFRs (temporary flight restrictions) and the Trust Certificate for all drone pilots. Learn about how these tools aid in fire perimeter establishment, damage assessment, insurance claims, and even wildfire prevention. We share real-world examples, including the devastating 2020 Santiam Fire in Oregon and how drones are being used in the recovery and rebuilding process for the non-profit Opal Creek Ancient Forestry Center. This episode is an introduction to a series, where we will explore the use of drones in prevention, emergency response, and recovery with expert insights. Keywords: Drones, Natural Disasters, Emergency Response, Reality Capture, Mapping, LiDAR, Thermal Drones, Fire Perimeter, Wildfire Prevention, TFR, Trust Certificate, Regulations, Insurance, Santiam Fire, Opal Creek, Logistics, Drones for Good, Los Angeles Fires, FAA.
