Drone Rescued 65 People Over Past Year – DEEP AERO DRONES – Medium

According to the DJI's report, around 65 people have been rescued by drones in the last year. The report, "More Lives Saved: A Year Of Drone Rescues Around The World," features the innovative drone technology, and the rapid adoption by first responders to increase the pace of drone use in critical public safety missions. Reports have also stated that drones have dropped buoys to struggling swimmers in Australia and Brazil, and found helpless people in fields, rivers, and mountains. Approximately, 22 out of 65 "were at great risk of death, such as stranded in a body of water or exposed to hazardous weather." "Drones allow rescuers a way to find missing people, deliver supplies like food and life vests, and cut search and response times from hours to minutes," says Brendan Schulman, DJI's Vice-President of policy and legal affairs.
