1 +=== **Wide area assessment – USAR** ===
4 4  
5 -Use RTK-enabled outdoor drones for wide area assessment before and during USAR operations. Drones hover near structures and provide high-resolution video, controlled manually by an operator. Teams and command staff use the footage to support planning, assess hazards, and make routing decisions.

26 -1. **Deployment and Initial Positioning**
27 - a. Command or team lead requests drone support for external area overview.
28 - b. Drone operator launches drone, checks connectivity and RTK accuracy.
29 - c. Live feed is shared with teams and command center.
30 -1. **Initial Area Assessment**
31 - a. Drone hovers and performs a wide pass along the operational area.
32 - b. Camera operator or analyst identifies terrain features and visible hazards.
33 - c. Findings are noted by command staff for initial planning and worksite layout.
34 -1. **Detailed Look Upon Request**
35 - a. A responder team or command staff requests specific inspection (e.g. rooftop stability, exit blockage).
36 - b. Operator manually moves drone and zooms in for closer inspection.
37 - c. Team uses footage for tactical decision-making or confirmation before approach.
38 -1. **Data Sharing and Coordination**
39 - a. Screenshots or annotated video are shared across teams.
40 - b. Visual information is added to digital maps or discussed in team briefings.
41 - c. Drone remains in overwatch or is redirected to the next location.
