IEDO at the DRONES & PUBLIC SAFETY SUMMIT of EENA
The IEDO president and one of the vice-president have participated in the first discussion group of the summit "How European emergency services are using drones" with drone specialists from England, Spain and Belgium.
Creation of IEDO
Today the 16th June 2018, 5 persons from emergency services and humanitarian association have created a new organization : IEDO, the International Emergency Drone Organization.
Considering that no organization gathers emergency drones units together, we identified that something is lacking. Furthermore, the units and the associations using the drone for emergencies are testing each in their country : techniques, tricks or new solutions. But without communicating in a transverse way.
IEDO aims at gathering all the emergency drone units and associations to exchange together in order to improve and structure the use of the drone.
