Long Description

As local governments increasingly use drones for public safety, inspections, mapping, emergency response, and other operations, it is essential to have a process for reporting and investigating incidents when they occur. This session will provide practical guidance on documenting drone crashes, near-misses, property damage, equipment failures, and other operational events that could impact safety, compliance, or organizational liability.

Participants will learn best practices for incident reporting, scene documentation, evidence preservation, operator interviews, root cause analysis, and corrective action development. The session will also explore common contributing factors such as pilot error, equipment malfunctions, environmental conditions, and procedural deficiencies, while identifying strategies to improve safety, reduce risk, and strengthen drone program performance.
