AbstractVulnerable people such as older people or people with disabilities experience the greatest proportion of casualities during and after natural disasters compared to the younger population (cf. American Red Cross, American Academy of Nursing, 2020). Their needs should be taken into account in prevention and in the actual crisis situation. The rescue service is breaking new ground with the non-profit association German Centre of Rescue Robotics (Deutsches Rettungsrobotik-Zentrum e.V. (DRZ e.V.)) which was founded in 2018. Its aims are to promote the development of robotic systems to assist in the rescue and protection of people and property.Keywords: disaster management, crisis, robots, drones
