From natural disasters like floods, wildfires, earthquakes and droughts to human-caused incidents like political turmoil, government collapses and terrorist attacks, the frenzied pace of events across the globe over the past two weeks is not uncommon to the journalists covering these stories. Nor is the cadence unusual for Maxar's News Bureau, which provides visual context to support their reporting.

Maxar's News Bureau is a partnership program with trusted and respected media organizations that leverages technology for social good and global transparency. The News Bureau relies on satellite imagery from Maxar's industry-leading constellation, which collects the highest resolution commercial imagery available, allowing Maxar to provide a detailed view of what's happening on Earth. When this high resolution is combined with the constellation's agility, Maxar satellites can see farther and collect more imagery to provide insightful information on current events.

The News Bureau has been working hand-in-hand with reporters, photo editors and producers around the world for several years, and the second half of August has been busy. Here's a sample of reporting the News Bureau has contributed to since mid-August:
