NASA’s fleet of satellites continuously monitors our planet, offering free, open access to data that monitors everything from hurricane impacts to forest fires, methane emissions, and water cycles. This Earth observation imagery integrates seamlessly into geographic information system (GIS) technology to map changing conditions and is available through NASA’s disaster portals and ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.
