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 Crisis Response Program imagery documenting the 24 June 2026 earthquake that struck Venezuela's coast, causing extensive damage in Caracas, La Guaira, Catia La Mar, Puerto Cabello, Valencia, Ocumare de la Costa and Yumare. The catalog is split into pre-event (a Q1 2026 Planet quarterly basemap for before/after comparison) and post-event high-resolution SkySat and Pelican collects (50 cm) acquired 26–28 June 2026, organised by affected location. Each Item bundles the visual, pansharpened-analytic and usable-data-mask COGs. Imagery © Planet Labs PBC, licensed CC-BY-NC-4.0.
