OMADA Group and BRINC announce a strategic partnership to redefine water rescue operations using drones to deploy Emergency Flotation Devices (EFDs).

Seattle, WA –September 26, 2024 – BRINC, a pioneer in drone technology for first responders, is excited to announce a partnership with OMADA Group, a leader in first-responder safety supply equipment. BRINC will now equip public safety agencies across the US and Canada with drone-deployable Restube equipment for OMADA Group. This collaboration aims to enhance water rescue operations through BRINC’s Drone as First Responder (DFR) solution, making it possible to deliver life-saving flotation devices in seconds.

The Restube Automatic is the best Emergency Flotation Device (EFD) to carry on drones because it is lightweight and automatically deploys in the water. Through this partnership, agencies can mount the Restube Automatic EFD directly onto Responder drones via BRINC’s custom Restube mount and deliver EFDs to water emergencies in seconds. The collaboration aims to set new standards in public safety and emergency response by providing agencies with a comprehensive, ready to deploy solution.

“By combining Restube EFDs with BRINC’s drone ecosystem, we’re equipping first responders with a life-saving water rescue tool,” said BRINC Founder & CEO Blake Resnick. “This partnership enables immediate deployment of flotation devices to people who need them as quickly as possible.”

“No tool can deliver a flotation device on scene faster than a drone. It requires less maintenance than traditional crewed aviation, and isn’t restricted by the limitations of boats or other watercraft,” said Arcady Shteynberg, Owner/Partner of OMADA Group LLC. “As more agencies recognize its advantages, this game-changing tool is being rapidly adopted.”
