Impact of the Tsunami
The role of drones in natural disasters is significant. A photo taken from the air of the damage caused by the tsunami that occurred in Indonesia in December 2018 vividly depicts the impact of the disaster on infrastructure. Such aerial photography is indispensable for grasping the entire picture of the affected area, providing crucial clues for the government and relief teams to respond quickly.
Because a major earthquake preceded this tsunami, the extent of the damage is immediately apparent in the aerial photographs. Drones not only assist in planning rescue routes and assessing the disaster situation but also show how quickly natural threats can devastate lives. This photo is a symbolic representation of how technology can contribute to disaster countermeasures.
