WE ARE THE
DRONERESPONDERS

Throughout the U.S. and around the world you see them launching unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the sky during various types of emergencies and incidents.  These are the DRONERESPONDERS, and our ranks are growing every day as more organizations continue to embrace UAS for public safety missions.

DRONERESPONDERS is a non-profit program created to unite these new aerial first responders, emergency managers, and search and rescue specialists under a unified organization to help learn, train, and test with one another with the ultimate objective of maximizing drone operations for public safety.

The DRONERESPONDERS program is led by Chief Charles Werner (ret.) who serves as the director.  DRONERESPONDERS is an official 501(c)3 non-profit Drones for Good™ program of AIRT, Inc.
