Disaster Data Releases from Planet Labs PBC
Imagery from the Planet Crisis Response Program for major disaster events — earthquakes, floods, storms, wildfires and human-made disasters — as a single browsable catalog. Each event is a self-contained sub-catalog with pre- and post-event high-resolution COGs (visual, pansharpened-analytic and usable-data masks), organised by affected location. Imagery © Planet Labs PBC, licensed CC-BY-NC-4.0 (non-commercial).
This is a Portolan / STAC catalog: the umbrella
root (catalog.json) links to one self-contained sub-catalog per disaster event, and new
events are added as new sub-catalogs.

Using the catalog
Browse the whole catalog in the Portolan browser, or open
https://data.source.coop/planet/disasterdata/catalog.json in any STAC browser.
Explore with AI. Point Claude Code or another agent at llms.txt (each event has its own too) and ask it to query the data, make maps, or compare pre/post-event imagery.
Query with DuckDB. Every collection has a STAC-GeoParquet items.parquet index of its
scenes (id, datetime, geometry, cloud cover, asset hrefs):
Open a COG. Asset hrefs are absolute public URLs — stream just the pixels you need with
/vsicurl, rio-tiler, rasterio or GDAL, no download or API key required.
