Project RESCUE:

Somerset Council’s drone initiative for enhanced emergency response and environmental monitoring.

Somerset Council was awarded funding from the Innovate UK Future Flight Regional Demonstrator Fund for its £191,370 Resilience and Emergency Services Coordination Using Enabled-drones (RESCUE) project. RESCUE will explore how drones can be deployed quickly to reach inaccessible areas, providing real-time footage and data to support ground teams during environmental emergencies. The Council is collaborating with Land and Minerals Consulting Ltd and Limosaero, and will involve local emergency services, resilience teams, and government agencies to develop the case for adopting the scheme in Somerset.
