Cape Fear agency to study drone medicine deliveries after hurricanes

Original: Could drones deliver medicine after a Cape Fear hurricane? WMPO to study idea

The Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO) is launching a study into whether drones could be used to deliver medicine to residents in the Cape Fear region after a hurricane, when flooded or damaged roads can cut communities off from pharmacies and care. The idea would see aerial deliveries fill gaps in emergency response when ground transport is impossible.

Why now: Hurricane season concerns in the Cape Fear region are driving interest in new emergency logistics solutions.
