Drone Data for Wildfire Recovery & Mitigation
On-demand Webinar | Free
In early September 2020 high winds and dry weather caused the rapid expansion of multiple wildfires in Oregon, USA. In this presentation, we’ll provide an overview of how one electric utility used drone captured imagery to assess the extents and severity of damage to their electrical infrastructure for recovery efforts, including applying for a fire management assistance grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). We’ll also discuss how the utility is planning to utilize drone data to support ongoing fire mitigation activities.
