Storm Season Is Here—Is Your Response Plan Ready?

Storm Season Is Here—Is Your Response Plan Ready?

When severe weather hits, every second counts. Drone technology is no longer optional—it is an essential part of storm response for utilities and public safety teams, helping assess damage, accelerate restoration, and protect crews in the field. 

How UAS Solutions Are Changing the Game 
  • Rapid Damage Assessment: Reach downed lines, flooded substations, and blocked roads without risking personnel. 
  • Faster Restoration: Real-time aerial data supports smarter dispatch decisions and shorter outage durations. 
  • Resilient Infrastructure: Pre-storm inspections reveal weak points; post-storm mapping assists with insurance documentation and long-term planning. 
  • Situational Awareness: Aerial systems aid in search and rescue, traffic monitoring, and interagency coordination when every moment matters.

What’s New in the Field? 

From long-range VTOL fixed-wing systems that cover miles of infrastructure in a single flight, to autonomous deployment platforms ready at a moment’s notice-this storm season brings new tools to the front lines. 

Just-released platforms and advanced workflows are redefining what’s possible. 

Gresco’s UAS team helps you evaluate the options that best fit your goals-whether you're starting from scratch or scaling a proven UAS program. 

Technology Is Only Half the Equation 

Reliable storm response takes more than hardware. It takes people-trained, ready, and equipped with the right tools at the right time. 

We support utility providers and their first responders—linemen, engineers, and field crews—with integrated UAS solutions that align with operational demands, regulatory expectations, and real-world budget constraints.
