This year, we built on the analysis we did for the <a href=\"http:\/\/droneanalyst.com\/research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2016 \u201cTruth About\u201d<\/a> papers by incorporating real-world experience gained from businesses and drone pilots operating under the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s Small Unmanned Aircraft Regulations (aka FAA Part 107).<\/p>\n<p>In this new report, we validate how first responders are sending unmanned aerial vehicles into high-risk or remote emergency situations before putting first responders at risk while helping victims more efficiently. We detail best practices for how police, fire, emergency response, and search &amp; rescue agencies can implement drones into their operations. Learn both the strategies and roadblocks to the successful use of drones in this industry, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which licenses are required for employees flying drones<\/li>\n<li>How to pick the right drone for your specific operation<\/li>\n<li>The importance of a roadmap for training and drone maintenance<\/li>\n<li>How to deal with the public in a safe and transparent manner<\/li>\n<li>When to outsource drone work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here is an excerpt from the white paper:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Lesson 3 \u2013 Training is multifaceted and should not be an afterthought:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuying a drone and training go hand-in-hand.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/romeodurscher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DJI Director of Education Romeo Durscher<\/a> recommends thorough training on several topics. This includes basic training\u2014as in Part 107 pilot training and \u201cstick time\u201d on the controls of your aircraft of choice\u2014and advanced training for tactical use, e.g., learning the best way to manage the drone before, during, and after deployment.<\/p>\n<p>Gene Robinson (and the <a href=\"http:\/\/dronepilot.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Drone Pilot<\/a> training team) include these and add additional layers of training gleaned from his years of experience as head of Unmanned Aircraft Operations for the Wimberley Fire Department. Some of those experiences and lessons learned are outlined in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.suasnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Texas-Memorial-Day-Floods-A-White-Paper.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">white paper on the 2015 Texas Memorial Day flood<\/a>.\u00a0 That paper reports that drones\u2014and at one point 16 manned aircraft\u2014were used for disaster relief for multiple days, but not without problems. Problems included multiple rogue manned and unmanned aircraft being operated within the temporary flight restriction, the loss of communication abilities via cell, the line-of-sight problems with handheld aviation radios, and the inability to request FAA approval to operate in the area.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The report goes on to describe what many police, fire, and emergency responders have learned about what works and what doesn\u2019t. It details mistakes early adopters have made operating their drones and recommends the actions you should take so your implementation and ongoing use is successful.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/y-2kzH9_aiU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch a short video here<\/a> and <strong>get the free report<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/droneanalyst.com\/research\/research-studies\/five-business-lessons-learned-drones-public-safety-first-responder-operations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have questions about what&#8217;s in the report or would like to comment on it after reading it, write me at <a href=\"mailto:colin@droneanalyst.com\">colin@droneanalyst.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Image credit: EENA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We just released a new research report titled \u201cFive Valuable Business Lessons Learned About Drones in Public Safety and First Responder Operations.\u201d This is the fifth and final in a series of white papers intended to share lessons learned in specific industries and how to maximize the value drones can deliver in those industries.
