Disaster Preparedness & Emergency Response Support

Aerial Intelligence Meets Smart Communication for Safer Communities

ARTÉMIA Communications and Birds Eye Aerial Drones (BEAD) have teamed up to create a safer and smarter way to respond to emergencies. Together, we combine aerial intelligence (drone data and imagery) with strategic communication to help communities prepare for and respond to disasters.
Our goal is simple: to help emergency managers, public safety teams, and community leaders work together better, react faster, and build trust with the public.
With our joint approach, we help agencies educate the public, gather real-time data, and coordinate response efforts to prevent accidents and manage emergencies effectively.

Our Shared Mission

Both ARTÉMIA Communications and BEAD believe in one thing: preparation saves lives. We focus on helping local agencies understand risks, reduce weaknesses, and communicate clearly before, during, and after disasters.

By bringing together drone technology and smart communication, we help public safety teams see from above, plan ahead, and act fast when it matters most.

What We Do

We help emergency agencies create strong and effective programs that combine drones, planning, and communication.

Our services include:

  • Planning communication and outreach to help the public understand and trust drone operations.
  • Building a Drone as a First Responder (DFR) program strategies to speed up emergency response times.
  • Creating stakeholder maps and engagement plans so everyone involved knows their role.
  • Writing policies and procedures for authorized drone operations and emergency response.
  • Coordinating with local, state, and federal partners to follow FAA and DHS rules.
  • Helping agencies apply for grants and funding by preparing complete proposals and documentation.

In short, we help agencies plan smartly and stay compliant while building reliable drone programs.

Educating the public is one of our biggest priorities. People need to understand how and why drones are used during emergencies.

We help with:

  • Creating public education campaigns about safe and responsible drone use.
  • Running awareness programs to prevent unauthorized drone activity near emergency zones.
  • Organizing community events, live demonstrations, and safety workshops.
  • Designing bilingual and multicultural outreach programs to reach all communities.
  • Developing educational materials like flyers, videos, PSAs, and social media posts.
  • Partnering with schools, civic groups, and local media to spread safety messages.
  • Hosting public feedback sessions to listen to community concerns and improve transparency.

This helps the public feel informed, respected, and confident about drone use in their neighborhoods.

When disaster strikes, our certified pilots and technology experts are ready to act.

Our team provides:

  • FAA Part 107-certified pilots for safe and legal drone operations.
  • Rapid aerial support during incidents such as wildfires, floods, infrastructure damage, or search and rescue missions.
  • Real-time mapping and imaging to help emergency teams make faster, smarter decisions.
  • Post-incident reports and visual assessments to help with recovery and documentation.
  • Support inside Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) and Incident Command Systems (ICS).
  • Protocols and response playbooks to manage unauthorized drones near emergency sites.

We help agencies act fast and stay informed with accurate aerial data when every second counts.

We believe that preparation is the best form of protection. That’s why we offer training for both drone operators and communication teams.

Our training includes:

  • Drone pilot courses and Part 107 preparation.
  • Safety and operational best practices training.
  • Media and internal communication workshops for agency spokespeople.
  • Crisis communication and community engagement training.
  • Cross-agency coordination sessions to improve teamwork and interoperability.
  • Tabletop exercises and scenario-based drills that combine UAS and communication strategies.

These programs help agencies stay ready and confident, both in the sky and on the ground.

Good communication can calm fear, prevent panic, and build trust. We help agencies communicate clearly and confidently with the public and the media.

Our support includes:

  • Crafting strategic communication plans for new or existing drone programs.
  • Developing key messages that explain safety, purpose, and accountability.
  • Handling presses releases, briefings, and public announcements.
  • Creating visual content like videos, infographics, and drone footage for awareness campaigns.
  • Managing social media during emergencies to ensure accurate information and counter false news.
  • Providing crisis communication support to manage public concern after incidents or unauthorized drone activity.

We make sure every message your agency shares is clear, consistent, and trustworthy.

Every action matter, and so does measuring its impact. We help agencies track and evaluate how their programs are performing.

We assist with:

  • Collecting and analyzing engagement and feedback data.
  • Creating GIS maps and visual reports for briefings and reviews.
  • Building performance dashboards to measure outreach success and impact.

This helps agencies show progress, justify funding, and improve strategies for future emergencies.
