Drones and robots can extend the capabilities of first responders. In December 2024, a search and rescue team in Colorado used drones to find a 10-year-old boy who was lost in the mountains south of Denver. The team also used a drone to deliver a plastic bag with protein bars, gel packs, water, a winter hat and a thermal blanket for him until authorities arrived at the site. In Alaska, firefighters used a robot to drop needed supplies to crews on the ground.

This kind of equipment offers first responders the tools to reach locations that otherwise are inaccessible.

Learning Objectives:

Identify what drones and robots can contribute to helping first responders in dangerous and time-sensitive circumstances
Understand the differences in capabilities between drones and robots, and the conditions where each is best suited
Evaluate the training, systems, and procedures that each technology requires to reach its potential use
