Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are an emerging technology

that will likely revolutionize disaster management. This course

aims to explain all the uses of UAS in disaster work, from mitigation

and preparedness to response and recovery, while detailing the

different types of UAS and how each are appropriate for different

uses. The course also explains the current Federal Aviation

Administration regulations on who can use UAS and how to apply

for authorization to use UAS. This course is designed and framed to

provide participants with a general familiarity of UAS types and

applications, an overview of the rules and regulations governing

UAS use, and a general understanding of UAS uses in disaster

management. Through this course, first responders, disaster

managers and others will be able to determine how UAS may help

them better accomplish their mission objectives.
