Damage Assessment Help

Aloha,

If any of Hawaii's drone hobbyists are interested in volunteering to provide pre-landfall reconnaissance and post-landfall damage assessments for Hawaii State Civil Defense please contact my office at the number below.

The videos that @PRIMEFOOTAGE produced provided valuable preliminary damage assessment information about Iselle and we would like to leverage  Hawaii's civilian drone resources to assist in the assessment of Tropical Storm Ana.

If you are interested in volunteering please contact my office at State Civil Defense via email at [email protected] or by phone at [phone] x583.

Regards,

David Hafner

Tracking rising sea levels with drones at UH-Hilo

The University of Hawaii at Hilo is employing drones to track the impact of rising sea levels on Hawaii Island shores. Ryan Perroy, assistant professor of geography and environmental science, said the unmanned aerial vehicles are being used to get a bird’s-eye view and create three-dimensional images of shorelines at Hapuna Beach, Kapoho and Honolii.

Drones are increasingly popular in Hawaii, and some people want to reign in how and where the unmanned aircraft can be used. A bill — HB314 — would ban using drones to collect personal information and stop them from flying over schools, hospitals, churches or police stations without consent. That bill will be in the House Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection on Tuesday.
