Abstract
This paper discusses potential applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for disaster man age ment. Based on the current state and diversity of research, there is considerable evidence to sup port the strategic investment in UAV technology to develop new and enhance existing operational capabilities. When developing these capabilities, it is essential that officials understand a range of vari ables that will influence the development of a concept of operations for particular types of disasters. As the technical capabilities of UAVs exceed the permissible use of this technology, public safety officials and agencies will have to work closely with national airspace regulators to ensure that these responses are safe and do not endanger other aircraft. The community's attitude and perceived risks will also influ ence the potential use of UAVs for disaster management. It is essential that officials address these concerns and build in safeguards to protect against any breaches of privacy and individual rights.
