Planet Solutions for Disaster Management

Read our Disaster Lifecycle E-book

TRACK CHANGE ACROSS BROAD  LANDSCAPES

Reduce the loss of life and property, and minimize the cost of disaster  recovery

See new trends and focus attention where it’s needed most with near-daily spatiotemporal data, a living archive, and automated change detection.

DYNAMIC ARCHIVAL DATA AND AI-POWERED  INSIGHTS

Monitor tree fall-in risk over utility  lines

Proactively monitor changes in vegetation to mitigate wildfires and power outages with scalable insights on tree strike, canopy cover, and species identification.

Empirical Measurements

Track crop health and soil water content 

Planet Soil Water Content and Biomass Proxy variables provide physical measurements of crop and vegetation health, unhindered by clouds.

DYNAMIC HISTORICAL BASELINE

Monitor evolving risks to  coastlines

Intervene on climate change-related impacts, environmental accidents, and debris with a living baseline of data, which expands daily.

EARTH INDICATORS

Monitor water quality, sedimentation, and algal  blooms

Use water health indices to protect communities and natural ecosystems from acute and long-term water issues resulting from weather events, toxins, and invasive species.

Working with Planet, NOAA gets a more complete and frequent stream of information about the status of our oceanic and coastal world.
