Following the June 2026 earthquakes that struck Catia La Mar, Venezuela, the [Microsoft AI for Good Lab](AI For Good Lab - Microsoft Research) 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 June 2026, producing building footprints with predicted damage across the affected area.
Following the June 2026 earthquakes that struck the central coast of Venezuela, the [Microsoft AI for Good Lab](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/group/ai-for-good-research-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.

This collection mirrors the [Venezuela Earthquakes: Building Damage Assessment in Catia La Mar](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/venezuela-earthquakes-catia-la-mar) 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)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) license.
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.

## Methodology

The Microsoft AI for Good Lab ran their damage assessment AI models on satellite images taken 25 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.
