Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: Drones in Emergencies Operations

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a new collection titled "Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Drones in Emergencies Operations", which will collect papers invited by the Editorial Board Members.

The aim of this collection is to provide a venue for recent advances in drone research in the area of emergency operations, which may include search and rescue, humanitarian and disaster relief, delivery of emergency supplies, telecommunication, response to natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, disaster recovery, etc. All papers will be published in an open-access format following peer review.
