FEMA's Drone Training

FEMA is getting into drone training

It appears that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has seen the future and that it includes drones. They are in the process of developing and prototyping a new course Unmanned Aircraft Systems in Disaster Management (AWR-345)

One of the pilot sessions is here in Washington in October. I just registered for it — and will share my thoughts on the curriculum after I attend.
