PUBLIC SAFETY
New technology for public safety is constantly evolving. Consequently, drones are proving their usefulness in many aspects of public safety, including first response, search and rescue, and fire fighting. For example, drones survey scenes from a safe distance before emergency services arrive, lowering safety risks for first responders. Additionally, thermal imaging has proved effective in search and rescue missions for children and hikers, as well as in locating flood victims–all while reducing the safety hazards emergency workers face.
