Emergency Response & Disaster Management using Drones
Overview
Drone-based emergency response delivers rapid situational awareness during accidents, landslides, flooding, or other critical incidents within mining areas. Immediate drone deployment provides real-time aerial visibility of affected zones, access routes, and potential hazards without exposing personnel to dangerous environments. High-resolution imagery and live video feeds enable faster decision-making, efficient rescue coordination, and accurate damage assessment. This capability significantly improves response times, reduces operational uncertainty, and enhances safety during high-risk emergency scenarios.
