Use of drones
Last year, the Western
U.S. experienced one of its
worst wildfire season in
years. An area the size of
Delaware burned within
California alone.
Those fires, along with a
trio of devastating hurri-
canes that hit the opposite
coast, made 2017 the cost-
liest year on record for natu-
ral disasters in U.S. history.
In response, the federal
government relied on un-
manned aircrafts, which are
increasingly cheaper to buy
and deploy, more than ever
to aid the efforts of
firefighters on the ground.
Meanwhile in Congress,
lawmakers are frozen in a
political stalemate over how
to fix a system for funding
firefighting efforts that both
parties agree is broken.
Last year, Interior, which
leads interagency efforts on
unmanned aircrafts outside
the Pentagon, flew 707
drone missions on 71 wild-
fires.
In total, the department
conducted nearly 5,000
flights altogether for various
purposes, including drawing
maps, surveying wildlife and
conducting search-and-res-
cue missions.
