Abstract
A method and system for deploying drones to provide residents of an area impacted by a disaster with emergency communication services. The system and method are configured to automatically generate custom drone deployment configurations that can be used to form an ad-hoc network in the region using one or more communication drones. After an outage occurs, where the system determines the region can be best served using a messenger network, one or more drones can be assigned to travel across different flight paths to shuttle messages between residents and operational base stations/towers.
