Fiscal Year 2023 Homeland Security National Training Program (HSNTP) - Continuing Training Grants (CTG) - Alliance for System Safety of UAS through Research Excellence (ASSURE)
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) offer new technologies to support key mission requirements including preliminary damage assessments, debris measurements and calculations, visual evidence, confirmation analysis, establishing flood levels and damages to structures, search and rescue operations, and logistics
and package delivery.
As jurisdictions develop UAS programs and integrate this technology in emergency management operations, training is critical.
FEMA supports the development and delivery of curriculum that leads to the competencies required for the emergency management and first responder communities to effectively use UAS before, during, and after disasters.
Students, after completing UAS training, will be better prepared to effectively use UAS resources to achieve outcomes.
