Gone is the bullhorn. Instead, New York City emergency management officials have turned high-tech, using drones to warn residents about potential threatening weather.
With a buzzing sound in the background, a drone equipped with a loudspeaker flies over homes warning people who live in basement or ground-floor apartments about impending heavy rains.
“Be prepared to leave your location,” said the voice from the sky in footage released Tuesday by the city’s emergency management agency. “If flooding occurs, do not hesitate.”
Do you trust Adams enough that you think he’ll care if his own government defies that ban if he feels it’s necessary?
No, but the point is if I see a drone I know it’s a government drone and not just some hobbyist. The ban already doesn’t apply to the government, hence the weather warning drones and anti-drone drones.
I was talking about government ones to begin with.
