When the airplanes are grounded, sUAS Teams are filling in:

QuoteTrained CAP crews are also using small, unmanned aerial systems, commonly known as drones, to take photos and video. Three two-member teams are coordinating with search and rescue managers to provide overhead support for ground operations. Those teams continue their operations as they are able, given weather conditions in the area.

CAP planes are grounded due to adverse wind and weather conditions. The crews will conduct aerial assessment flights as soon as conditions permit, CAP officials report.
