Floods are becoming one of the biggest risks facing communities, cities, and infrastructure. The numbers are hard to ignore. In 2024, floods triggered 142 disasters worldwide, making them the second-most common disaster after storms. Between 2020 and 2024, flood-related damage reached more than US$325 billion. And by 2050, up to 1 billion people could be affected by sea level rise. These are not just environmental numbers. They are human, economic, and planning challenges. Reducing flood risk means acting earlier, planning smarter, and using better data to understand where people, assets, and infrastructure are most exposed. AI, geospatial intelligence, early warning systems, local knowledge, and nature-based solutions all have a role to play. Floods cannot always be prevented, but their impact can be reduced. Now is the time to turn risk data into real action. What steps is your city, organization, or community taking to prepare for future flood risk? @UNDRR @WMO @NASAEarth @UNFCCC @AiGeoNavigators #FloodRisk #ClimateResilience #DisasterRiskReduction #GeospatialIntelligence #EarlyWarningSystems #ClimateAdaptation #UrbanResilience #NatureBasedSolutions #RiskManagement #SustainableCities #ClimateAction #GIS #RemoteSensing #DataForGood #ResilientInfrastructure

“Millions of people live with the constant threat of flooding.” What if we could predict risks before disaster strikes? In this clip from Spacefront Conversation, MJ Akter, COO of Spiral Blue shares how a real-world problem affecting millions inspired a mission to leverage space technology for better decision-making on Earth. By combining Earth observation, advanced data analytics, and next-generation geospatial intelligence, we're moving toward a future where communities can better prepare for floods, protect critical infrastructure, and save lives. The most powerful space technologies aren't just about exploring beyond Earth. They're about making life better on Earth. #SpaceTech #ClimateTech #FloodRisk #EarthObservation #GeospatialIntelligence #DisasterManagement #Innovation #SpaceIndustry #SpiralBlue #WomenInSpace #SpacefrontConversation #EarthIntelligence

More Insights from Our FAO Flood Exposure Dashboard | Built by AI Geo Navigators Following up on the flood map we shared recently, here’s the complete set of interactive maps from the same dashboard. Using the latest FAO report data, we’ve visualized how floods overlap with: Exposed populations Croplands at risk Rural communities Our team at AI Geo Navigators designed and developed this full geospatial dashboard to turn complex FAO datasets into clear, actionable intelligence for understanding climate risks to agriculture and rural livelihoods. What trends do you see across the population, cropland, and rural exposure layers? How can we strengthen resilience in these flood-prone areas? Would love your thoughts in the comments 📍 Dashboard by AI Geo Navigators Your feedback makes our dashboard and maps better, drop your thoughts in the comments or reach out directly.

$PL ✨ 🚨Planet Labs ATM/Shelf Registration Breakdown Planet Labs has filed a new ATM equity program providing up to $1.5 billion of financing flexibility. ✅ Not an immediate stock offering ✅ Shares can only be sold if and when management chooses ✅ Up to $1.5B of capital raising capacity ✅ Intended for growth initiatives and potential acquisitions ✅ Could support Pelican constellation expansion and AI investments At a share price of approximately $43.5, the full $1.5B authorization would translate into roughly 34–35 million shares. Based on approximately 333 million shares outstanding today: Estimated maximum dilution: • Around 10% Importantly, this represents a theoretical worst-case scenario if the entire authorization were utilized near current prices. With more than $500M in cash on the balance sheet, this appears less like a survival financing move and more like securing capital for future growth opportunities. Not a stock offering today, but a $1.5B growth war chest for future expansion and potential M&A. #PL #PlanetLabs #SpaceTech #DefenseTech #AI #GeospatialIntelligence d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.ne…

Key takeaways: ✅ Pelican-11 is designed to support future high-resolution imaging capabilities ✅ The mission is intended to improve imaging quality, revisit rates, and on-orbit processing ✅ Planet is seeing growing interest from government customers, including the Swedish Army and the Greek government ✅ The long-term opportunity may come from converting technical advancements into larger, recurring government contracts The significance of Pelican-11 is not just the satellite itself. It is another step toward expanding Planet’s high-value geospatial intelligence business serving defense, intelligence, and government customers worldwide. #PL #PlanetLabs #Pelican #GeospatialIntelligence #EarthObservation #DefenseTech #SpaceTech simplywall.st/stocks/us/comm…

What does it actually take to build a national data ecosystem that serves its people? Dr. Yuliya Tarabalka, Vice President of Geospatial Solutions at Space42, joined the plenary panel on Unlocking Investments in Data Ecosystem at the Global Data Festival and Kenya Space Expo and Conference 2026 in Nairobi. She highlighted Space42’s perspective on the significance of sovereign data infrastructure and what it takes to build it right. The session made the case to go further than investing only in the sensing layer. The AI and analytics infrastructure including platforms such as GIQ that turn data into actionable intelligence, is where sovereign capability is built. The panel was joined by Dr. Bonface Makokha, Principal Secretary, State Department for Economic Planning, Hon. Gideon Ochanda, Member of Parliament for Bondo Constituency, Paula McLeod, Head of the Statistics Profession in the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and moderated by Priscilla Idele, Chief of Data, Population, and Development Branch, UNFPA. @SpaceAgencyKE @Microsoft #Space42 #GlobalDataFestival #Kenya #GeospatialIntelligence
