FEMA Grounds Private Drones That Were Helping To Map Boulder Floods

MrMagooAZ writes: An interesting article about a questionable reaction by FEMA in response to the flooding in Colorado. It seems a small firm was working free of charge with County officials to use drones to map the area and provide near-real-time maps of the flood damage. When FEMA took control of operations one of their first acts appears to have been to not only ground the drones, but threaten the operators. "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you?"
