Webinar Description:
While the unmanned systems industry is rapidly evolving, not everyone is sold on the notion of drones flying overhead.  Public safety agencies and the news media are at the tip of the spear for conducting UAS flight operations in public view.  In this special National Drone Safety Awareness Week webinar, we’ll explore how first responders and journalists are working together to help shape positive public acceptance of unmanned systems for everyday operations at incident scenes and special events.  Learn how the FAA is helping to bridge the gap between user groups to ensure safe and effective UAS operations that help win public trust.
