Planet makes available select imagery for major disaster events, including major earthquakes, floods, storms, wildfires, and human-made disasters. These are available here in a STAC Catalog under a CC-BY-NC license. See the Planet Disaster Data page for more information.
You are looking at a Portolan / STAC catalog (catalog.json, STAC 1.1.0, Portolan profile v0.1.0) — inside Disaster Data Releases from Planet Labs PBC: Planet Crisis Response imagery for major disaster events.
Planet imagery acquired on/after the event, grouped by acquisition date.
Everything is plain HTTPS — no credentials, no signing, no request-payer.
