Palm Coast's stormwater and engineering department will oversee a series of drone surveys over several days between April 10-14 and April 17-21..

The drone surveys will be done in the salt-water canal section of the city for a  dredge-feasibility analysis – specifically the “C” and “F” section residential neighborhoods and along the intracoastal waterway, according to a press release from the city. The research will mainly consist of drones hovering 10-20 feet above the canals.

This technology allows for fast, efficient surveying, but the department wants residents and neighboring business owners in the area to be aware that  footage could include overhead shots of homes, businesses, and properties.

“We understand that drones flying overhead can be alarming for residents, so we want them to rest assured that if they see drones in their area, or operators setting up nearby, that they are there for city business purposes,” Project Manager Carmelo Morales said.
