Improve disaster preparedness, response and recovery
"Thirty-two countries are experiencing increasing floods, with 25 more poised to be added to that list by 2030." - CNN
Satellite imagery provides a cost-effective way to keep tabs on the potential for disaster.
Monitoring sewage from space
In 2022, London experienced a flash flood that overloaded sewers. To mitigate future flood and health risks, a research project was conducted combining AI and Planet satellite technology.
Planet imagery was used to help detect organic matter from sewage overspills and downstream impact, playing a major role in building scenarios for current future predictive analysis.
Mitigate the impact of wildfires
Wildfire ‘season’ is no more; agencies need to be prepared for fire to hit at any time. Wildfires pose an extreme liability to local areas, but preventative measures enabled by satellite imagery can help reduce risk.
Enabling preventative bushfire management with satellite data
Forest Fire Management Victoria, an Australian governmental organization, leverages Planet’s rapid revisit SkySat imagery to create burn severity maps and review ecological impacts.

Protect vulnerable water resources
Droughts are becoming more frequent, distressing the health of communities and protected habitats. Tracking changes in water levels can help proactively plan for allocation and conservation.
Planet’s high-frequency imagery reveals historically low water levels in Lake Mead, a source of drinking water and agricultural irrigation for multiple states across the western US. The data derived from these images empowers local agencies to create strategic allocation and conservation plans.
Read “Understanding a New World of Water” to learn how satellite data helps aid management of water resources.
