Using Unmanned Aerial Systems during a natural disaster, the Texas Memorial Day floods.

The Texas Memorial Day floods in the small town of Wimberley Texas were devastating to the town, county, and to families that lost loved ones, and many more who lost their homes.  In an effort to respond to the incident, every resource was considered, and many new resources were brought into play.

Unmanned aircraft were included in those resources.  This white paper was presented as an adjunct to the normal “after action report” because observations made the operators in the environment are important.  Especially in the field of unmanned aircraft utilization.  In keeping with the notion that practical application is far better than conjecture and theory, sUAS News brings this “real world” scenario to the UA industry for review and inclusion into the discussion of unmanned aircraft us for public service.
