In the Guangxi and Sichuan regions of southern and southwestern China, recent heavy rains have caused severe flooding, leading to emergency rescue operations utilizing drones. In one notable incident in Chengdu, Sichuan province, firefighters employed a large drone capable of lifting up to 220 pounds to rescue a man stranded on a piece of wood in the flooded Linxi River. The drone delivered a life vest and rope to the man before safely lifting him to safety. This rescue, widely circulated on social media, highlights the increasing use of drone technology in flood relief efforts in China. Concurrently, flooding in the Amazonas region of Brazil has affected over 500,000 people, with 40 municipalities declared in a state of emergency. Authorities in Manaus are deploying high-precision drones to monitor rising water levels and wildfires in response to the crisis.
