The Penobscot County Emergency Management Agency Drone Team will be flying its drones over the town of Levant on Wednesday.
The agency billed the flights as “maintenance and practice” designed to “keep our machines and staff flying safely and efficiently.”
The drones are used in a number of scenarios, according to the agency, including: critical infrastructure incidents, FEMA assessments, fires, hazardous materials incidents, law enforcement, mass casualty incidents, proficiency training, public safety of mass gatherings, search and rescue, and structural integrity assessments.
