NFPA 2400 answers the call for a uniform standard for the use of drones by public safety agencies.

NFPA 2400, Standard for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) Used for Public Safety Operations, answers the call for a uniform standard for the use of unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) in public safety and emergency response operations. This essential resource establishes standard procedures as well as the individual competencies one must possess for utilizing state-of-the-art aerial emergency response robotics to enhance public safety and emergency response operations capabilities.

NFPA 2400 provides the foundation for departments to develop sUAS programs based on the most current industry knowledge and best practices. This all-encompassing standard covers the individual competencies, implementation, deployment, and use of UAS in the public safety community to enhance capabilities in inspections, search and rescue, fire scene efforts, and other operations.
