Use cases and service scenarios of disaster information service using unmanned aerial vehicles

Drones could make a difference in disasters. The sensors used by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are equipped with sensors that capture images on the ground, with the data then being transferred to computer systems and analyzed for disaster prediction, prevention or response to save lives and limit economic losses. Use Cases and Service Scenarios for Disaster Information Service Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is a guide to using UAVs to collect information for disaster management. It looks at the technology, sees how drones can pre-empt as well as respond to disasters, and shows how they could be applied in droughts, earthquakes, wildfires, floods, landslides and volcanic eruptions.
