Description
Optimizing emergency response efforts, this project offers a possible plan for disaster relief. Specifically targeting Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, this plan uses drones to deliver resources to five key hospitals and also capture video surveillance of hardest hit areas. Cargo containers are strategically packed with chosen ratios of three different types of medical packages, and drone flight paths are designed to optimize storage and route distances to sustain hospitals for nearly two years.
