ADU 0071: In light of Nepal, how can I use my drone for search & rescue efforts? Is there a volunteer group out there?




Ask Drone U show

Summary: Today we're going to, once again, step away from the norm and not answer anybody's specific question. Instead, we're going to talk about how drones can be used for good, especially in light of the events taking place in Nepal right now. We have some good friends (and partners) in IR Distro who are on their way to Nepal right now to use their drones and IR cameras to help in the search and rescue efforts. As a result, we felt it applicable and maybe even a bit necessary to step back and talk about how drones are and can be used for the greater good. We also give a quick run down of an organization called SWARM (http://sardrones.org/) where you can volunteer for search and rescue efforts with the help of your drone and flying skills. You can ask and submit your question at http://AskDroneU.com and we'll be sure to answer it on an upcoming episode. It couldn't be easier to do, so go check it out now. Lastly, can we ask you a huge favor? Give us a 5 star rating on whatever platform you listen to our show. It'll only take you 30 seconds, and will greatly help us. Thank you!
