We assist in the 4 stages of Emergency response, Here is how:
Mitigation: This stage involves taking proactive measures to reduce the impact of potential disasters. It includes risk assessment, implementing policies, and investing in infrastructure improvements to minimize vulnerabilities and prevent hazards from causing significant damage. Delta Scan provides infrastructure inspections to help visualize where improvements should be implemented.
Preparation: Preparation focuses on planning and organizing resources to ensure readiness for any emergency. This includes developing emergency plans, conducting training and drills, establishing communication systems, and coordinating with various stakeholders, including Delta Scan, to ensure a swift and effective response when a disaster strikes.
Response: The response stage is the immediate reaction to an emergency, aimed at saving lives, protecting property, and containing the situation. This involves deploying emergency services, executing evacuation plans, providing medical care, and restoring essential services. Delta Scan comes in, using our drones ad unmanned vehicles to begin searching the areas for survivors, any further damages and the scale of the damaged which has already taken place. Coordination and communication are critical during this phase to manage the crisis effectively.
Recovery: Recovery is the process of restoring normalcy after an emergency. It includes repairing damaged infrastructure, providing financial and psychological support to affected individuals, and implementing long-term plans to rebuild and improve resilience. Delta Scan brings in their team with their drones to asses the damages, scan them and calculate the different materials needed for repair, the areas which require reinforcements and much more. The goal is to return the community to a pre-disaster state or better, learning from the event to enhance future preparedness and mitigation efforts.
