This guide integrates with existing disaster response protocols and multi-agency coordination frameworks. AlphaSight enhances—not replaces—established emergency management procedures.

​
Getting Started

1

Secure Flight Authorization

Emergency response operations often require expedited airspace clearance. In many jurisdictions, disaster declarations enable streamlined UAV deployment under emergency protocols.
Some regions allow immediate notification rather than full permit applications during declared emergencies. Check with local aviation authorities for emergency response procedures.
2

Connect All Available Assets

Why unified connectivity matters: Disasters fragment communication networks and scatter response assets. AlphaSight creates a single operational view from all available sources.
  • Emergency response drones
  • Mobile devices from field teams
  • Satellite feeds and aerial imagery sources
3

Establish Live Streaming

Launch drone operations and verify live feeds are operational. Multiple streams provide redundancy when individual assets fail or lose connectivity.
Weather conditions significantly impact drone operations. Plan for 60-70% of normal flight time in adverse conditions.

​
Rapid Area Assessment

Quick Mapping

Generate high-resolution orthomosaic and 3D models for immediate damage assessment and tactical planning.

Real-Time Intelligence

Process imagery as it’s captured, identifying structural damage, access routes, and victim locations.
Rapid aerial assessment of flash flood area

​
Why Mapping First

Time-critical decisions need accurate data. Ground teams can’t assess the full scope of damage from street level. Aerial mapping provides the complete picture that incident commanders need to allocate resources effectively and identify priority areas. Identify these elements:
  • Infrastructure damage of roads, bridges, utilities
  • Access routes for safe passages for ground teams
  • Victim concentrations at around likely congested areas require immediate rescue
  • Hazard zones where unstable structures, flooding, chemical spills hold more danger
  • Safe zones as staging areas for establishing command posts & rest ares
AlphaSight’s 2D orthomosaic and 3D mesh processing typically completes within 15-30 minutes, providing tactical teams with accurate base maps for coordination.

​
Response Coordination

When AlphaSight identifies critical situations, rapid response coordination saves lives

Immediate Assessment

Live drone feeds provide instant situation assessment before deploying ground teams to dangerous areas

Resource Direction

Guide rescue teams to exact locations using real-time aerial intelligence and safe route identification

Continuous Monitoring

Monitor evolving conditions and emerging hazards throughout response operations

​
Multi-Agency & Remote Response (Coming Soon)

AlphaSight is developing features for even greater flexibility in complex scenarios:
  • Guest Device allow other devices outside your organization to temporarily connect such as from different agencies for a unified, shared operational view—ideal for joint operations between police, medical, fire and rescue teams.
  • Offline/Remote Mode allows AlphaSight to work even with no connectivity. On-edge processing grants mapping and analysis capabilities for the fastest results. Data auto-syncs when back online, useful for debrief.
    Mobile command center supporting offline and remote drone operations

​
Why This Approach Works

Traditional disaster response relies on fragmented communication and delayed assessment reports. AlphaSight transforms response effectiveness by providing:
  • Rapid situational awareness enabling faster, more informed decisions
  • Force multiplication extending limited responder reach across wide areas
  • Safety enhancement reducing responder exposure to dangerous conditions
  • Coordination improvement enabling effective multi-agency operations through shared intelligence

​
Next Steps

Ready to enhance disaster response capabilities? Begin with scenario-based training that incorporates AlphaSight into existing emergency protocols. Test the system’s integration with current communication networks and coordinate with aviation authorities for emergency response procedures.
Remember: effective disaster response isn’t about perfect technology—it’s about rapidly getting actionable intelligence to the people who need it most, when they need it most.
