Assisted Screening of Flood-Trapped Areas

Screening for trapped people in a flood is a high-consequence task with a low inherent detection rate. Honest scoping of what the sensor can and cannot see is part of the deliverable.

Overview

  • People in water, under roofs or in vehicles are frequently not detectable; the method supports, it does not replace, ground and boat search.
  • Systematic segment-by-segment coverage is more valuable than ad-hoc passes over obvious areas.
  • Record which segments were observed and which were obstructed, so a negative result can be interpreted correctly.
  • Coordinate tasking with the rescue service so that a reported location receives a response.
