Drones are increasingly being used for search and rescue missions because of their ability to access areas that are difficult for humans to reach:

🆘 Emergency Response

• Finding Lost Hikers: Drones equipped with thermal cameras can detect body heat, making them effective at locating lost or injured people, especially in dense forests or mountains.
• Natural Disasters: After events like earthquakes, floods, or fires, drones are deployed to survey the damage, locate survivors, and assess the safety of the environment before rescuers enter.
• Delivering Supplies: Some drones are even capable of delivering lightweight supplies, like medical kits or food, to people stranded in dangerous locations.

Search and rescue operations benefit from drones because they are faster and safer, and they can cover large areas quickly.
