# Pre-event Planet Quarterly Basemap (Q1 2026) (llms.txt)
STAC Collection `pre-event` in the Venezuela earthquake (2026-06-24) catalog.
Base: https://data.source.coop/planet/disasterdata/venezuela-earthquake-2026-06-24/pre-event/
Collection: https://data.source.coop/planet/disasterdata/venezuela-earthquake-2026-06-24/pre-event/collection.json
- 40 tile Items; each at items/<tile-id>/<tile-id>.json with its COG beside it.
- Per-tile assets: `visual` (RGB basemap COG, ~4.8 m) + `thumbnail` (PNG). This is a Planet
quarterly basemap mosaic, not a scene collect — no analytic/UDM bands.
- Whole-region merged COG assets on the Collection: `mosaic` (JPEG-compressed display COG,
the default) and `mosaic-lossless` (DEFLATE, full fidelity). Use these for a single
before-image over the whole area; use the tiles for finer coverage.
- Time: 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z → 2026-03-31T23:59:59Z. BBox: [-68.37890624044671, 10.141931684792462, -66.09374999076411, 10.833305982211]. GSD: [4.77] m.
