Flood in Kenya

October 31, 2019

International Charter Activation CC693

Kenya has been experiencing heavy rainfall throughout October, impacting over 100,000 people, displacing thousands, and killing several dozen. Due to the high amount of rainfall, impacted regions are also suffering from landslides, mudslides and flash flooding. NOAA has recorded rainfall levels at more than 120 mm above normal for this time of year, and the Kenyan Meteorological Department warns above-average rainfall is expected for the next several weeks.

How to get access to our imagery:

We make our disaster imagery available through Planet Explorer, our online imagery browser. We provide limited access to Explorer for up to 30 days to qualified disaster volunteer organizations, humanitarian organizations, and other coordinating bodies. Explorer is continuously updated with our most recent imagery (please see map for the exact region available). To gain access to Planet's Explorer, please email support@planet.com. In your email, please provide your name, the name of your organization, and the purpose for which you wish to use the imagery.
