Afterstorm assistants

If you're not part of an agency it may be a bit "late to the game" but you can try contacting FDS as they are openly looking for credentialed operators to "possibly" assist after the fact.

I know NC has additional licensing requirements for aerial mission. If a licensed pilot from SC gets jobs in NC do you know what we need to do to be legal?
Here is a link with info. You have to register online and take a test.
NCDOT: Unmanned Aircraft Commercial Operators
Well done Robert.
For the record its a silly easy test and takes just a few minutes.
Thanks I didn’t know if there any exceptions for a disaster. There should be enough work in SC.
Yep I just took it. I'm in Mississippi, but a local company here has some interests up there and asked me if I would be willing to go up there to help with post-storm damage assessments. Ya'll stay safe up there!
I was looking at it and going to take the test and get ready
Negative on disaster exceptions. And in fact Emergency Services is stricter than standard Commercial Operations. To operate on the state level for ES sUAS Operation I have to have a 3-ring binder of credentials, forms, signatures etc before I can get deployed.
I'd say there will be plenty of work in SC and NC. Attach early to an official agency and you should be good to go.
It's 25 questions ( common sense ) There is a study guide if you need to know there rules and regulations.

It's probably late in the game to be thinking about volunteering for the current NC situation, but never too early to begin thinking about the next disaster relief op.
Expect TFRs that will all but bar the individual sUAS operator. Check with your state or regional SAR organization(s) about joining and training. And, if you haven't already done so, sign up for FEMA's free online "Introduction to the Incident Command System, ICS 100" course - it's pretty much a must-have starting point.
Safe flights!

IS-00800.b National Response Framework, An Introduction
IS-00700.a National Incident Management System, (NIMS), An Introduction
IS-00100.b Introduction to Incident Command System
Those were the baseline required for us by FEMA that would include UAS ops in order to work in an incident command post. There were a few others that were profession-related for GIS work during a disaster.
On the state level (In NC) we are required to have:
ICS-100 Introduction to the Incident Command System
IS-200 ICS for Single Resources and Initial Action Incidents
ICS-300 Intermediate ICS for Expanding Incidents (In PERSON training)
ICS-400 Advanced ICS (In PERSON training)
IS-700 NIMS, an Introduction
IS-800 National Response Framework (NRF), an Introduction
We also have to have logged 24hrs in the aircraft we intend to fly during the incident as well as be sponsored by an agency (Emergency Services) and carry liability insurance and have a letter of worker's comp from the agency.
All of these are just to get added to the database to be deployable.
