Please fill out this form if you are interested - https://forms.office.com/r/nT0h1YFQKA
The University of Vermont (UVM) is hosting FEMA's introductory Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (UAS or drones) courses in the summer of 2023. There are two identical sessions (June 13-14 & June 27-28), each consisting
of two days of training. The sessions are identical, and thus, participants should attend only one session for both days.
These courses are offered at no charge to
first responders and those who participate in emergency management or disaster response and recovery functions. Travel, lodging, and meals are all covered. The courses assume no prior UAS experience. Participants should feel comfortable using computers
and tablets. Space is limited.
AWR-422: UAS Flight Operations for Emergency Response (Day 1) is a 1-day, in-person course that will prepare first responders with technical resources, knowledge, and experience
to deploy UAS for a variety of emergency response scenarios. Content will cover rules and regulations, mission planning, airspace coordination, platform and sensor selection, risk assessment and mitigation, flight operations, data collection, and metadata
retention.
PER-407: UAS Data Analytics for Emergency Response (Day 2) is a 1-day, in-person, instructor-led course on how to effectively organize, generate, analyze, and rapidly disseminate
geospatial data from UAS data. Course content will cover how to transform UAS imagery, video, and other data into products that can be used to support decision-making, damage assessment, and other mission-critical tasks for emergency response.
