Social Impacts

Problem

Over-reliance on drone technology for search and rescue could leave rescue teams unprepared if there are failures in the rescue system.

Solution

Hold consistent training sessions for rescue personnel to keep them ready for disaster.

Problem

More wealthy places will have better access to drone technology, which can create inequities in the community’s ability to rescue others.

Solution

Create different tiers of drone disaster rescue systems with different levels of affordability to provide a more diverse range of access.

Solution 2 

Working with the federal government to use these drone systems is not only important for large-scale MCIs, but also enables their use and sharing over a wide range of communities.
