Abstract

This chapter highlights the communication and network technologies that contribute to UAV disaster management systems, surveys the latest development of UAV-assisted disaster management applications, including early warning system, search and rescue, data gathering, emergency communication, and logistics, and presents our preliminary work to demonstrate the benefits and challenges of UAV systems for emergency communication. Finally, we discuss the characteristics and design challenges of UAV disaster management systems.
