A quick snapshot taken a few hours ago of one of our drones out supporting local agencies. Our Incident Support Team responds to active emergency calls daily. Our drones are one of our most requested resources. #dronesforgood #searchandrescue #dji #firerescue #stormpoint

Stay weather aware in middle TN on Thursday.
Severe storms are possible on Thursday, mainly from late morning through the afternoon along and ahead of a cold frontal passage. Once again, damaging straight-line winds and isolated tornadoes are the primary threats. Localized flooding during heavy downpours is also possible.

Are you prepared for a power outage? One of the biggest challenges our team faces in disaster areas is assisting residents with power outages. Be prepared with backup batteries for mobile phones and flashlights. Have a plan. Make it now before disaster strikes. #disaster #storm

Our team was out with @MTSU Aerospace Program students today discussing UAS (drone) use for search and rescue and how to work with the @FAADroneZone for waivers. Thanks @DJIGlobal for providing us with our new M300 aircraft which we were also able to demonstrate today.

Our team is out on a follow up search for a missing person in Cummins Falls State Park today. Multiple agencies have returned to the area in an attempt to bring closure to a case from February 2021.

Our team participated in joint training exercises with multiple agencies today to practice our indoor flying skills. These scenarios are important for our team as we prepare for responses to all types of hazardous incidents like building collapses and law enforcement support.
