Chris is the Verizon Frontline Senior Manager for Crisis Response for Georgia and Alabama, as well as the&nbsp;developer and leader of the crisis response UAS team.&nbsp; He draws upon his experience from ten years on active duty in the United States Army where he served as a tactical air traffic control operator and senior noncommissioned officer to provide a calm demeanor during times of crisis. His experience also includes several years of work in the UAS industry working on mapping, photogrammetry, LiDAR, and beyond visual line of sight operations. He holds a bachelor鈥檚 degree in unmanned systems and robotics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a Master鈥檚 degree in Geographical Information Systems and cartography from The University of Southern California. Earlier this year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and&nbsp;Verizon&nbsp;Frontline have signed a three-year&nbsp;Cooperative Research and Development Agreement&nbsp;to explore new strategies to rapidly deploy uncrewed aircraft systems to collect and distribute imagery of damage resulting from severe storms such as tornadoes or hurricanes. As part of this partnership, the&nbsp;Verizon&nbsp;Frontline Crisis Response Team will provide the uncrewed aircraft system platform, sensor, and personnel resources needed to rapidly respond and collect aerial imagery of storm-damaged areas of interest identified by NOAA. The goal is to enhance the ability of NOAA鈥檚 National Weather Service offices to quickly conduct post-storm damage assessments, while also providing data for research conducted by the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory. This data will be used to help researchers better understand tornado behavior and impacts with a goal of improving warnings.&nbsp; In this episode of the Drone Radio Show, Chris talks about the Verizon Frontline Crises Response Team, the partnership with NOAA and how systematic data collection can aide local communities in redeveloping after a disaster. <meta itemprop="description" content="Chris Sanders is Senior Manager for Verizon Frontline Crisis Response Team.&nbsp; The Crisis Response Team is a national, rapid deploy, professionally trained team who solve routine and complex communication challenges in all environments.
