What's the best way to drop emergency relief supplies such as water and cell phone batteries by air to people during disasters? UNT's College of Public Affairs and Community Service has teamed up with SkyLIFE Technology to identify novel approaches and determine their potential for success.

For the study, UNT students and faculty from the college's emergency administration and planning program will travel to the scene of disasters to research the provision of relief, as well as how to mobilize and distribute humanitarian aid to those affected by war, terrorism, famine or natural hazards. The research also involves examining new technology developed by SkyLIFE.
