They proposed to use the drone to easily determine the affected areas of the radius. This drones is an unmanned aerial vehicle used to view the whole hectares of the specific agricultural range and its affected parts.

This drones can be applied after a natural disaster occurs and will help the farmers to aid the affected crops immediately. This unmanned aerial vehicle is composed of a high standard intelligence that is especially made for agricultural purposes. It can be used by the local farmers especially in Vizayas and some regions of Luzon that has a high vulnerability in natural disasters. This drones has light materials and only composed of local materials so it can be repaired and use it easily . Its sensors and digital imaging capabilities is its best features to help the farmers on it’s problem in terms of agriculture. The drone can also reveal the damages of the past disaster such as irrigation and soil variation.
