Having Knowledge Of First Aid

We must have First Aid knowledge so that we can:
- Handle emergencies
- Have the confidence to help victims in need
- Save lives
- Help victims who have lost their breath, are injured, and unconscious
- Reduce pain
- Assist victims in remote areas who are injured and sick
- Prevent further injury and bleeding
- Prevent shock, anxiety, and stress

Some important actions that must be taken when doing First Aid:
- Remain calm and think clearly when assessing an emergency
- Call for help if needed
- Do not move injured victims unless necessary
- Convince victims that you can help them
- Follow the instructions from the Medical Team if the team is already at the location

Drones For Safety And Surveillance

How can Drones be used for security and surveillance? Drones can help to:
- Conduct patrols in a large area
- Provide a wide perimeter view
- Prevent "intruders" by detecting suspicious activity
- Track specific targets (individuals and vehicles), so that the Security Team can monitor potential security threats
- Search for lost people and objects in hard-to-reach areas
- Monitor critical infrastructure (power plants, dams, and pipelines) to prevent accidents
- Monitor wildlife populations and track their movements to protect endangered species and conserve natural resources
- See in the dark
- Detect hazardous materials (gases)

Some of the challenges that must be faced:
- Drones can be used to collect data about people and this data can be used for malicious purposes
- The use of Drones must comply with applicable regulations so that it can complicate the deployment of Drones in some areas
- Drones usage may be affected by weather conditions (wind and rain) and this can hinder the Drones' work and reduce the quality of data collected

Benefits And Assistance Drone Provides To Fire Team

Drone with its ever-new technology can be a valuable tool for Fire Teams. Some of the benefits and assistance that Drone can provide to the team:
- Flying directly over the fire location
- Being the "eyes" for the team and providing information about the fire that occurs
- Performing tasks that are too dangerous for humans
- Accessing dangerous and hard-to-reach areas
- Seeking and finding victims trapped behind the smoke, darkened rooms, burning buildings, and other structures
- Identifying hot spots
- Assessing the size of the fire
- Mapping the fire boundaries
- Extinguishing fires, especially those that occur in areas that are difficult to reach by the team

Drone helps Firefighters plan their attacks and ensure they get all hot spots.

Some other exciting things:
- Drone cannot be hurt and killed
- Drone can be repaired and replaced
- Drone is already being used by Fire Departments around the world

So, let's use Drone to help us :-)
