Using Drones to Provide Insight for Disaster Recovery

The V1 Video team spoke to Patrick Meier at the Commercial UAV Expo. Meier is a thought leader on humanitarian technology and innovation as well as founder of the Humanitarian UAV Network (UAViators), which has worked in the Philippines to help in the recovery of Cyclone Pam and in Nepal for response to the recent earthquake. We talked about the growing utility of UAVs as well as the use of automation and crowdsourcing to reduce the time and burden of analysis.
