It seems that once every couple of years I get an inquiry to perform drone search and rescue ops from someone with a lost dog who found my photography website.
My default advice at this point has been to advise against drone surveys, at least using me, either due to a lack of equipment on my end (e.g. thermal imaging capabilities) and justifying that a ground search may ultimately be more effective if it's over a large area - explaining limitations on battery life, line of sight ops, etc.
