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.
Very-high-resolution (~0.64 m) SkySat collects acquired 13 August 2026 at 12:01 UTC, three days after the mainshock, over Quibdó — the capital of Chocó and the largest population centre in the affected department, roughly 105 km north-north-west of the epicentre. Two adjacent collects covering the city and the Atrato river frontage, extending about 6 km further south than the 10 August coverage of the same target. Visual, pansharpened, and usable-data mask products for building-level and infrastructure damage assessment. 82% of this footprint was also covered by the 10 August collects, so the pair gives a same-sensor, same-target three-day repeat at sub-metre scale. Atmospherics are the limiting factor here: cloud is only 12%, but UDM2 puts light haze over 84% of the valid pixels and just 4% of each collect is fully clear. The 12:01 UTC pass is 07:01 local, giving a 13.6 degree sun elevation — long shadows across the whole scene and deep shading on west-facing walls and narrow streets. Both effects work against automated differencing; treat this as an interpretation-grade image over Quibdó rather than a radiometric one, and prefer the 10 August collects as the reference frame. 2 scenes; each Item carries the available visual, pansharpened, udm2, and udm assets.
