Hey
Guys! Today we are going to discuss about Vanuatu and how the put drones in the
sky to see cyclone damage. Recently a cyclone had emerged in the island nation
of Vanuatu. The cyclone named Pam was a storm that occurred in march which left
75,000 people without homes and at least 15 people dead. Wow That's just
disgraceful. But alas we have no control over the weather. People lost so much
in the storm. Personally I understand how that feels. Its goes all the way back
to when I was a child.....But there's no time for that now so let's continue on
the event. So the National Geographic Emerging Explorer Patrick Meier had ideas
on how to map this. "Over the past few weeks,
National Geographic Emerging Explorer Patrick Meier has been working in the
country on assessing the post-disaster damage, as a contractor for the World
Bank and at the invite of the local government." Meier, director of the
Qatar Computing Research Institute uses UAV's to improve the details of the
crisis maps. Drones have been successful in mapping the disasters that occur
and explicitly shows the details of those crisis maps.
J-Ice Out!
