Unoccupied Aircraft Systems Team (UAS) within SAL<\/a> played a critical role in documenting the destruction from Vermont’s 2023 summer flooding event by using drones. The deployment was one of the largest uses of drones for disaster response and recovery in the Northeast. O’Neil-Dunne established the UAS Team in 2013 after Tropical Storm Irene, to get information about these disasters to responders and others in a more timely way.<\/p>\n![\"Members](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/site.uvm.edu\/cals-news\/files\/2024\/01\/UAS-drone.jpg?resize=525%2C302\")
