Are you working on humanitarian UAV projects?

Improving humanitarian efforts using drones? Running humanitarian drone trainings? Studying the coordination of drones in disaster response? Concerned about ethics & privacy?

In this video from @radiosvoboda, fires could still be seen smoldering in what used to be a row of apartment buildings on the main street of Borodyanka on March 3. The town northwest of the Ukrainian capital came under Russian air strikes and artillery the previous day.

Some individual #drone pics from #cavaillon #haiti. These are some of the most obviously damaged areas, but we've identified about 60 spots that seem to be damaged. The field is where quite a few ppl are currently living in makeshift tents.

Our recent work about the rapid, locally-led #Drone deployment exercise for Immediate Damage Assessment & Situational Analysis at Melamchi Bazar. Major Immediate uses include: Better Situational Awareness, High Temporal Accuracy, Rapid Damage & Loss Assessments etc #Drones4Good

Heartbreaking footage of the flooding going on in #Hawaii right now. This is Haleiwa town. It’s nearly 4,000 residents were asked to evacuate.

Amazing to see the first #COVID19 vaccines delivered by autonomous drone! Proud of @Gavi’s partnership with @Zipline and @UPS_Foundation to support this innovative way of reaching more people more efficiently with essential vaccines.

Yesterday, Paris Firefighters @PompiersParis deployed their new Fotokite Sigma in a fire fighting mission. As reported by the firefighters, Fotokite’s thermal camera helped @PompiersParis to see through the smoke and save two persons trapped in the fire on the 8th floor.

Humanitarian organizations are increasingly turning to drones to support disaster response efforts. Yet many fail to use this technology effectively. Check out our peer-reviewed online course to learn why, and how to avoid these failures https://t.co/keFdhS3Kvc

IF YOU FLY YOUR DRONE THESE AIRCRAFT CAN'T. Aircraft pilots are dropping water and retardant on #BobcatFire hot spots today to protect communities threatened by fire. If drones are spotted, firefighting aircraft must stay grounded. #IfYouFlyWeCant https://t.co/cdsHf4OSCf
