I wanted to make all the pilots on here aware of DSAR (Drone Search & Rescue) - a national non-profit 501c3 that I am on the Board of. While we have a presence on the MavicPilots forum, we recognize the value of other drones (non-Mavic drones have attended our training in the past.)
We are an all-volunteer organization of Commercial drone pilots trained in drone Search & Rescue (SAR) techniques and operations seeking to promote the use of drones for Search & Rescue through free training and maintaining a registry of licensed and trained pilots willing to volunteer for SAR incidents. We don't sell anything for profit, nor do we charge for training or Search/Rescue services. While SAR is our primary mission, I am meeting with the Red Cross next week to discuss enhancing their damage assessment capability with our drones. We also offer Law Enforcement no-cost training on effective tactical employment of LE drones.
We offer free training quarterly in different geographical locations around the United States. If you are interested, our next session is Sat, June 8 just north of Atlanta at Acworth Beach where will will train open-water SAR and Damage Assessment flights. We limit each training session to 20 and there are a few slots left. You can sign up here.
As I said, I have a meeting with the local Red Cross head next Wed to discuss DSAR drones enhancing their damage assessment capability after disasters. While I know she wants to use DSAR in Alabama, I intend to offer our services nationally to the American Red Cross. Our Registry has a good start covering 17 states, but we need more. If you're a 107 pilot and willing to volunteer your services for Damage Assessment, please send us your contact info - especially if you're in a state that we currently don't have covered. You can see a map here of our coverage to date. You can send us your contact info here or PM me. We never publish the registry or make it public to maintain privacy and prevent spam. thanks,
