Drones Webinar | Drones for Natural Hazards, 30 April 2025
In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have seen significant technological advancements, expanding their applications in disaster risk management. UAVs provide high-resolution, non-invasive data that are essential in all stages of the disaster cycle: preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. From hazard mapping to emergency response and search and rescue, UAVs and intelligent swarms are becoming vital tools for professionals worldwide.
Additionally, UAV-derived datasets improve and validate spaceborne applications in disaster management. When combined with geographic information systems (GIS) and geospatial AI, they further enhance decision making and scientific research. The growing availability of affordable consumer-grade UAVs also encourages citizen science contributions, making risk-related activities more inclusive and accessible.
