S.A.R., Fire & Emergency Management
More and more, public safety and emergency management practitioners are recognizing the benefits of drones. SAR operations, fire fighters, law enforcement and others are harnessing the ‘seeing’ power of drones in their core activities.
Raven West has a multi-skilled drone team with real-world first-responder experience in wildland fire, search and rescue, emergency medicine, law enforcement and wildlife conflict. We regularly operate in remote, harsh environments: mountain, polar, marine/aquatic.
Collectively we have thousands of hours working with and flying in rotor wing and small fixed wing manned aircraft, in demanding conditions and scenarios. We can deploy quickly to almost anywhere during the first or second operational period of an incident and arrive equipped to be self-sustaining.
We have ICS, WHIMIS, Advanced First Aid and other certifications pertinent to emergency response and to make it possible to mesh seamlessly with your organization.
We can provide drone service support for natural disasters (floods, fires, earthquakes etc), municipal fire incidents and industrial accidents (train derailments, spills etc). We can produce terrain and incident mapping results on site, almost immediately after flying to aid in response planning & incident investigations or post-incident reports and analysis.
We have multiple FLIR sensors (Infra-Red/Thermal) to deploy for searching and hot spot detection and are ITC Level 1 Thermographer certified.
