Flood in Laos

July 25, 2018

International Charter Activation CC660

On July 23rd, 2018 local time, the hydroelectric Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy dam in the southern-most part of Laos collapsed due to monsoon rains. As a result, more than 5 billion cubic meters of water was released, destroying hundreds of homes in the province and claiming dozens of lives.

Affected residents are being evacuated to emergency shelters and rescue efforts are ongoing.

How to get access to our imagery:

We make our disaster imagery available by two means: 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 below for 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. Direct Download: We often times make a small but growing number of additional analytical imagery products available via direct download. Anyone may download these files, which will be provided "as-is", below.

Data License:

Planet imagery (whether provided via Explorer or Direct Download) is made available under a Non-Commercial, Creative Commons license, meaning they may not be used for commercial purposes.

Non-commercial entities (including humanitarian organizations, intergovernmental agencies, etc.) are granted access under the CC-NC-BY license, which does not require sharing of derivative products; if however such products are shared, there is a requirement that Planet is acknowledged as an underlying source of data.
