 ration. The course materials will familiarize participants with the main t
 ypes and capabilities of rotary and fixed-wing UAS\, as well as the types 
 of payloads and missions that generally are best for each with examples of
  how certain payloads have been or could be used in relevant situations to
  aid in disaster management. \n\nThe course provides an overview of sever
 al important elements that require full consideration when creating and op
 erating a UAS program\, including involving the local community in all sta
 ges of UAS program development\, and the critical need to protect privacy\
 , civil rights\, and civil liberties in a UAS program\, including with dat
