Columbia-based Missouri Task Force One (MO-TF1) has deployed its disaster situation awareness and reconnaissance team to tornado-damaged Pilot Grove.
The team uses drones to conduct search operations, disaster mapping and situational oversight. The MO-TF1 team delivered live reconnaissance imagery and disaster mapping and their work also helps with damage assessments.
Cooper County Fire Protection District officials say more than 20 other agencies provided mutual aid following Wednesday morning’s tornado in Pilot Grove. Columbia-based Missouri Task Force One (MO-TF1) was one of those. The MO-TF1 team uses drones and delivered live reconnaissance imagery and disaster mapping to local incident management teams and to the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA).
