Ten Fire and Rescue NSW personnel have deployed to Nepal as part of Australia's Disaster Assistance Response Team following devastating flooding.

The team includes six specialist drone operators and four incident management specialists who will support search and rescue efforts using advanced aerial technology.

Specialist drones will help search teams by:
• Accessing areas too dangerous for ground crews
• Providing aerial reconnaissance and mapping
• Using thermal imaging technology
• Delivering live intelligence to support operational decisions

The team will be self-sufficient, carrying its own food, water, medicines and tents so it does not place additional pressure on local supplies.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the floods in Nepal and those waiting for news of loved ones.
