There are evidently over 200 people unaccounted for in the floods in Colorado. Some may be trapped or lost in areas too dangerous to risk sending manned aircraft to look. Why don't we use unmanned drones in these situations? Even if this is inapplicable to the current situation in Colorado it seems like it would have been earlier on. In addition perhaps unmanned drone use should be used more extensively in emergency situations. Honestly, I hope this is already being done and I am just unaware of it.
