Unmanned Aircraft Systems Risk Assessment Based on SORA for First Responders and Disaster Management

Worldwide, there is a significant increase in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by emergency services. They offer lot possibilities during rescue operations. Such wide application for various purposes and environments causes many threats related to their use. To minimize risks associated with conducting air operations UAVs, SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) methodology will be important.
