What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: high-resolution satellite imagery for major disaster events (earthquakes, floods, storms, wildfires, human-made disasters) · pre-event and post-event imagery COGs · visual, pansharpened-analytic and usable-data mask assets · STAC scene index (items.parquet) per event collection
Coverage llm-inferred: Global, but event-based: Nepal, Colombia, France (Gironde/Landes), Venezuela, Philippines, Jamaica; no UK events listed · Event-based, from Hurricane Melissa (2025) to Nepal flood (26 Aug 2026); not a continuous archive
Formats docs-verified: COG · STAC Catalog · STAC-GeoParquet
Access docs-verified: Free, public, anonymous access; no API key or download needed. Licence CC-BY-NC-4.0 (non-commercial), © Planet Labs PBC

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Pre/post-event imagery comparison for flood or storm damage context in desktop studies · Reference imagery for flood-event case studies in FRA or lessons-learned reporting · Post-wildfire site condition review for land-use or drainage desktop assessments · Earthquake damage triage of affected towns before site visits
Audience llm-inferred: flood consultants · hydrologists · GIS analysts · geotechnical engineers · planners

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: CC-BY-NC-4.0 non-commercial licence; check before using in paid consultancy deliverables · Event-based only, not routine or continuous monitoring · No UK events listed in the docs, so limited relevance to UK-focused projects · Imagery only; no derived products (e.g. flood extents, DEMs) are described · Pre-event baseline is stated only for the Nepal event · Some events (e.g. Gironde) are post-event only, so no before/after pair is documented
