The Federal Aviation Administration is warning drone operators not to fly their devices over the Houston area as rescue efforts continue in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.

The FAA said Tuesday that unauthorized drone operation over the disaster area could interfere with rescue and recovery efforts currently underway in areas inundated by epic floods brought on by the deadly storm. The agency warned that flying a drone near a disaster area may violate federal and local laws and may result in stiff penalties.
