Drones buzzed over Tallahassee Thursday as part of a hurricane season preparedness training exercise facilitated by Florida State University.
Seventy-five police officers, firefighters and emergency management personnel took part in the two-day unmanned aircraft systems-focused training, headquartered out of Apalachee Regional Park.
The teams traveled to Tallahassee mostly from all over Florida but also from Alabama and Texas and were sent out on missions across the county, flying drones at places like the Talquin dam and Northwood Centre.
David Merrick, director of Florida State University s Center for Disaster Risk Policy explained the missions: They re doing mapping, and damage assessment and infrastructure assessment, he said. These are the types of missions that we would do after a hurricane to see how bad things are or where help is needed.

Tallahassee city commissioners are likely to devote the bulk of millions of dollars in federal funding to replenishing public sector revenue losses accrued during the height of the coronavirus pandemic last year.
They also hope the funding can chip away at homelessness, affordable housing and human services.
Commissioners will get their mid-year budget update Wednesday when city staff will present an itemized preliminary budget and preplanning efforts to spend the $46.2 million coming as part of March’s American Rescue Plan stimulus plan by Congress.
Funds cannot be dispersed until the city’s application to the U.S. Treasury is approved. It will be released in two chunks over the next year, 50% in the next month or so and the rest no more than one year after the first allocation, roughly May or June 2022.
