About this dataset

Following the June 2026 earthquakes that struck the central coast of Venezuela, the Microsoft AI for Good Lab ran their building damage assessment AI models to map and classify the buildings affected by the earthquakes. The models were applied to satellite imagery captured on 25 and 26 June 2026, producing building footprints with predicted damage across the affected areas of Catia La Mar, La Guaira, and Caraballeda. For each assessed area, the collection provides a reference area map, a valid-area mask describing the extent of the analysis, and a GeoPackage of predicted building damage footprints. This collection mirrors the dataset published on the Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) by the Microsoft AI for Good Lab and made available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY-4.0) license. ## Methodology The Microsoft AI for Good Lab ran their damage assessment AI models on satellite images taken 25 and 26 June 2026 and have mapped out the affected buildings. ## Disclaimer This analysis represents a portion of the damage from the earthquake; other damage in the region is not included in this assessment. While these insights offer a valuable initial overview, they remain preliminary and require on-the-ground verification for a comprehensive understanding of the damage. ## Caveats Please note that the source imagery has orthorectification quality issues, which may cause building footprints to be misaligned with existing basemaps.

Predicted Building Damage: Colombia Earthquake 2026

Creamos evaluaciones de daños a nivel de edificio tras el terremoto en Colombia mediante el entrenamiento y la posterior ejecución de un modelo de inteligencia artificial sobre imágenes satelitales adquiridas después del desastre. El modelo de IA clasifica cada edificio identificado en las imágenes como "sin daños", "afectado" o "desconocido". La categoría "desconocido" se utiliza cuando el edificio no puede ser evaluado adecuadamente, por ejemplo, debido a la presencia de nubes. Utilizamos los polígonos de edificios de Overture Maps, que representan el estado de las edificaciones sobre el terreno antes del evento. Los resultados se distribuyen como un archivo vectorial en formato GeoPackage, con los siguientes atributos para cada edificio: - `id` – identificador único de Overture Maps y Google para cada edificio. - `damaged` – valor 1 si el edificio está dañado; de lo contrario, 0. - `unknown` – valor 1 si el edificio está cubierto por nubes, neblina, humo o si, por alguna otra razón, no fue posible clasificarlo; de lo contrario, 0. - `area` – área del edificio en metros cuadrados. We create building level damage assessments by training and then running an AI model on the post-disaster imagery. The AI model predicts whether each footprint in the imagery is "building", "damaged", or "unknown" (i.e. cloudy). We use Overture Maps and Google building footprints which represent the state on the ground pre-event and distribute the resulting data as a vector file GeoPackage with the following per-footprint attributes: - `id` – the Overture Maps unique ID for each footprint. - `damaged` – 1 if the building is damaged, else 0. - `unknown` – 1 if the building was covered by clouds/haze/smoke or otherwise unable to be classified, else 0. - `area` – area of the building in sq meters.
