Editor’s NOTE

Welcome to the March 2023 edition of The Emergency Drone Responder Magazine. The primary aim of the Drone Responder Magazine is to report, educate, validate and promote the use of drones and emerging technologies in support of the work of the emergency services and the Emergency Drone Responders worldwide.

The Drone Responder Magazine is the global voice for the operational Fire, Law Enforcement, Search and Rescue & cUAS teams.

In this edition, we have fantastic articles covering a wide spectrum of subjects that will form an important part of the EDR mission to promote the global exchange of knowledge. I would like to thank Charles Werner, Vendelin Clicques, Lee Newman, Mike Parsons, Philip Hicks, Tom Nash, Darryl Ashford-Smith, Rich Gatanis, Kenny Åserud, Brandon Karr, Richie Moore, Dr Ian Greenbatch and Dr Anna Jackman for their fantastic articles and their enthusiasm to share their knowledge and experiences.

Also a big thank you to Altitude Angel, Coptrz, Convexum, DRONERESPONDERS, DroneControl, Enterprise UAV and I.E.D.O for your continued collaboration & support.

To ensure that we maximise the reach of the magazine, The Emergency Drone Responder magazine is available as an eMagazine free of charge on the website www.emergencydroneresponder.com
