Airspace and Possible Usage of New Technologies during Mitigation of Large Disaster on the Example of the Assistance Project. Overview

With current, sudden climate changes, an increase in the frequency of various natural disasters can be observed which affect populated, urban areas. This may cause the need to increase the number of rescuers so that they can respond appropriately to various disasters or the need to use new technologies that will help in efficient and safe disaster management, especially in difficult terrain. This article focuses on the second approach pointing to the most important advantages and possibilities offered by new technologies during disaster mitigation such as: • Measurement of air pollution using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), • Measurement of life parameters of rescuers, • Checking the location of the rescuer and visualization on the map for better action management and situational awareness. The above-mentioned aspects have an impact on the organization of the airspace and air traffic management. Attention should be given to the necessity of coordinating flights of unmanned aerial vehicles with manned aviation (extinguishing operations, flights with the SAR status)
