Hello, community. This is my first post. So, I want to share a quick application of Planet imagery for analyzing landslides. The study case is in a small province in Peru's Andes. This disaster destroyed more than 100 houses. Fortunately, there were very few fatalities. You can read more about this event at this link.

Thank you for this post. Recently, there was a lot of rainfall on the island of Trinidad and Tobago where we experienced several landslides across the island. I’m looking forward to using Planet data to assess the severity of these landslides.
