Drones for Rescue Deployed Amid Texas and North Carolina Flooding; Hobbyists Grounded

Following the extensive flooding impacting parts of Texas and North Carolina, specialized rescue drones have been deployed to assist in relief efforts. These drones, equipped with advanced technology, are being utilized to pinpoint affected areas, assess damage, deliver essential supplies to those in need, and aid in search and rescue operations. While these professional drones take to the skies, privately owned hobbyist drones are restricted from flying in affected zones to ensure the safety of rescue operations and prevent airspace congestion. These temporary restrictions are intended to enable rescue teams to operate efficiently and effectively, free from interference by unauthorized drones. Authorities are urging the public to cooperate with these measures to ensure the success of relief efforts.
