Natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes immensely impact the\ntelecommunication network infrastructure, leading to the malfunctioning and\ninterruption of wireless services. Consequently, the user devices under the\ndisaster zone are unable to access the cellular base stations. Wireless\ncoverage on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is considered for providing\ncoverage service to ground user devices in disaster events. This work evaluated\nthe efficient performance of wireless coverage services of UAVs to provide the\ninternet to fly things to help recover the communications link in a natural\ndisaster in multi environments. The results demonstrate the line of sight,\nnonline of sight, path loss, and coverage probability for the radio propagation\nenvironment scenario. Therefore, the path loss and coverage probability are\naffected by the user devices' elevation angle and distance in the\nmulti-environment system. The user position's optimum user device distance and\nelevation angle are also investigated to improve the coverage probability,\nwhich could be especially useful for the UAV deployment design.\n
