Discover how artificial intelligence and Earth observation data are transforming disaster response and preparedness. This webinar highlights how Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab utilized Planet’s satellite imagery to rapidly assess building damage following the 2023 Lahaina wildfire. We’ll also explore how near-daily Earth data on vegetation health and soil moisture can inform hazard mitigation strategies, particularly in wildfire-prone regions. Powered by the world’s largest constellation of Earth observation satellites, Planet delivers near-daily insights and robust tools for spatial data processing and management.
