If your department has developed a flotation device drop procedure or is interested, here is a brief survey to help understand what is being used.
Also, if interested in joining the Flotation Device Water Rescue Working Group (now with 38 members), send an email to me: charles@droneresponders.org
Thank you Charles for putting this post up. It is extremely important, to show what is happening in the first-responder environment, and also offer insight into the various strategies being used across the US.
