As the role of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in public safety continues to expand, this session will explore how drone technology is being integrated into planning and operational support for special events and mass gatherings. Led by members of the Lehigh County Drone Team (Station 43), attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of how UAS can be deployed for real-time situational awareness, crowd monitoring, search and rescue, and logistical support. The presentation will include case examples from regional events, discuss FAA regulatory considerations, outline inter-agency coordination, and share lessons learned for effective drone deployment. Whether you're starting a UAS program or looking to enhance an existing one, this session provides actionable insight for emergency managers, law enforcement, and public safety professionals.
