Disaster Drones with Laura Hart
Laura is a Program Coordinator at the Center for Disaster Risk Policy and an instructor in the Emergency Management and Homeland Security Program at Florida State University. She conducts research in UAS integration and applications, operates as a public, unmanned pilot and member of the CDRP UAS Team, and occasionally serves as a UAS Coordinator in the Air Operations Branch at the Florida State Emergency Operations Center during disasters. She also maintains the CDRP UAS equipment cache.
Laura is interested in policy analysis (specifically innovation and diffusion) at the federal, state, and local levels, and applies this interest to UAS policies, laws, and regulations. She is nearing the end of her third year as a doctoral student at the Askew School of Public Administration and Policy at Florida State University.
