When Storm Dennis tore through the UK in February 2020 and a month’s worth of rain fell within 48 hours, the team behind Caerphilly-based Drone Evolution was called upon to guide Local Authorities across South Wales’ flooded communities on how best to manage the flood’s impact on the region’s coal tips. They have been consulting with Local Authorities across the area ever since.
