Resources

Use cases

Build products that understand real places, respond to changing conditions, and make physical-world work more intelligent.

Public safety and emergency response

Search for incidents and visible hazards, research the conditions surrounding them, and monitor high-risk areas for new events.

  • Wildfire, flooding, earthquake, and severe-weather awareness.
  • Crime and incident monitoring around facilities or public spaces.
  • Rapid visual positioning of field imagery during response operations.

Cities and infrastructure

Give planning, maintenance, and operations teams a current view of streets, buildings, permits, construction, and public assets.

  • Find damaged roads, sidewalks, signs, lights, and other assets.
  • Track permits, construction activity, closures, and land-use change.
  • Research infrastructure gaps and prioritize field inspections.

Climate and environmental intelligence

Combine open Earth research with local visual evidence to understand environmental risk and measure change over time.

  • Tree canopy, heat exposure, shoreline, erosion, and habitat analysis.
  • Continuous monitoring of fires, air quality, floods, and seismic activity.
  • Evidence-backed reports for resilience planning and public research.

Field operations and logistics

Locate media, verify site conditions remotely, and trigger workflows when the physical environment changes.
