In this video from @radiosvoboda, fires could still be seen smoldering in what used to be a row of apartment buildings on the main street of Borodyanka on March 3. The town northwest of the Ukrainian capital came under Russian air strikes and artillery the previous day.

Some individual #drone pics from #cavaillon #haiti. These are some of the most obviously damaged areas, but we've identified about 60 spots that seem to be damaged. The field is where quite a few ppl are currently living in makeshift tents.

Our recent work about the rapid, locally-led #Drone deployment exercise for Immediate Damage Assessment & Situational Analysis at Melamchi Bazar. Major Immediate uses include: Better Situational Awareness, High Temporal Accuracy, Rapid Damage & Loss Assessments etc #Drones4Good
The devastating floods in #Melamchi on the night of 16 June provided a test case of how #drones can be deployed in future #disaster response in #Nepal to assess damage, rush relief and to quash rumours.

Amazing to see the first #COVID19 vaccines delivered by autonomous drone! Proud of @Gavi’s partnership with @Zipline and @UPS_Foundation to support this innovative way of reaching more people more efficiently with essential vaccines.

Yesterday, Paris Firefighters @PompiersParis deployed their new Fotokite Sigma in a fire fighting mission. As reported by the firefighters, Fotokite’s thermal camera helped @PompiersParis to see through the smoke and save two persons trapped in the fire on the 8th floor.
🚨 #Intervention Paris XII, vers 8h les pompiers sont alertés pour un feu d’appartement au 8e étage d’un immeuble d’habitation.
Les pompiers mettent rapidement les occupants en sécurité et viennent à bout de l’incendie au moyen d’une lance.
2 personnes sont blessées.

New study on Aerial Assessments for Disaster Response:
The @ifrc study on Aerial Assessments is now available here: americanredcross.github.io/i… Enjoy the read and it was a great pleasure to work on this amazing piece of work with Lauri and @danbjoseph for the past six months! Well done to us!
Very pleased to share this fully revised and updated Code of Conduct on the use of UAVs in Humanitarian action! The full review and update was kindly spearheaded by @HHI_Signal at @HHI 🙏

Humanitarian organizations are increasingly turning to drones to support disaster response efforts. Yet many fail to use this technology effectively. Check out our peer-reviewed online course to learn why, and how to avoid these failures bit.ly/3nxiGHA

IF YOU FLY YOUR DRONE THESE AIRCRAFT CAN'T. Aircraft pilots are dropping water and retardant on #BobcatFire hot spots today to protect communities threatened by fire. If drones are spotted, firefighting aircraft must stay grounded. #IfYouFlyWeCant youtu.be/Wg0LBGwv59s
