THIS MEANS PROVIDING HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS WITH AN OVERVIEW AND A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE VARIOUS USES-CASES; INSIGHTS ON WORK FLOWS AND OPERATIONAL DEPLOYMENT MODELS; BEST PRACTICES AND MAJOR CHALLENGES; AVAILABLE RESOURCES; AND OPPORTUNITIES AROUND TRAINING & CERTIFICATION AND PARTNERSHIPS. WE HAVE DESIGNED OUR EXPERTS MEETING ACCORDINGLY; TO CATALYZE CONVERSATIONS, INFORMATION SHARING AND TO ENCOURAGE DIRECT PARTNERSHIPS. SECOND, THE FOCUS OF THIS MEETING IS INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE, NOT U.S. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PER SE BUT WE OBVIOUSLY DO NEED TO DRAW ON THE LESSONS LEARNED AND BEST PRACTICES FROM THE US.

SO WITH THAT, LET ME THANK * Intro UN building, UAViators logo // purpose of meeting, end goals, manage expectations, etc; you are the experts; innovations through cross-disciplinary collab; thanks for time * Connect, collaboration, information sharing * Not going to cover everything today, insurance, Big Data analytics, etc. Not going to solve everything either. But we'll continue the conversations via UAViators, please join the network and list-serve!! * Start of conversations on best practices, and strategic partnerships * Summary of convening, videos, slides, etc Overview of past 6 months US CENTRIC gauge interest in collaboration in sharing resources/UAVs at field level; analysis imagery; deployment model, workflows; next steps people can take ownership in operationalizing; what needs to be owned; pilot projects; deliverables: 1) use cases (micro uavs only), 2) workflow, 3) code of conduct; 4) resource & capacity list; 4) Training certification
