Deputy Commissioner, DC Rana on Thursday launched drone service in Chamba district for works related to disaster management and Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping.
DC said that four personnel from the Police Department, civil defense and DDMA were imparted training in drone operation for 15 days.

The service would prove beneficial for relief and rescue work and for GIS mapping under DDMA in the district, he said.

Announcement facility is also available through a megaphone, along with the facility of night vision in the operation of the drone, which is capable of carrying a payload up to 750 gm for 5km.

GIS is an acronym for geographic information system. It’s a specific type of mapping technology that allows you to layer data tied to geographic points. Rather than seeing just a few key features on a static map, GIS mapping allows you to view customizable combinations of data layers in a dynamic tool.
GIS mapping helps you to visualize and identify patterns that are difficult to see if the data elements are in table format. It also helps to identify patterns that emerge when you view two or more datasets together. (Source:buxtonco)
