Extended Think Tank Thursday - Emergency Planning & Disaster Response with UAVs

This extended Think Tank Thursday Forum is co-hosted by AIRT, DroneResponders and Energy Drone & Robotics Coalition.

Emergency management and public safety leaders are gathering for this special 2-hour digital interactive event.

How are energy companies preparing for the 2020 hurricane/wildfire season with unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)?

With the COVID-19 pandemic still growing in much of the US, how will public safety and emergency managers plan and respond differently for disasters this year.

Key topics include:
1) Preparedness - using UAS for condition assessment, foliage overgrowth, etc.
2) Response - using UAS to assess damage, power restoration, and tell the story of how Bad is Bad?
3) Recovery & Resilience - UAS for long-term recovery and rebuilding, infrastructure hardening.

You will hear and interact directly with SMEs such as:
• Public safety officers
• Emergency response managers
• Disaster response teams
• Energy / industrial asset owners

Featuring a LIVE panel with power / utilities UAV program leaders & hosted by Christopher Todd, Executive Director, AIRT.


Think Tank Thursdays to keep you connected to your industry partners, help you benchmark your unmanned strategy against your peers and enable conversations around UAVs/Robotics/Data & AI for industrial operations.
