KyFromAbove program gives Kentuckians access to statewide aerial imagery
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear says the state is the first in the nation to have captured high-resolution aerial imagery of its entire geography.
The governor’s office says free, public access to statewide aerial photography through the KyFromAbove Explorer is a benefit to the state’s disaster response, infrastructure, and economic development. Kentuckians can use the website to view top-down and side-angle photographs of all 120 counties, a total of more than 40,000 square miles.
The governor’s office says all of Kentucky’s certified 911 call centers have access to the program, which helps operators and first responders find and rescue people in distress. The images help emergency management leaders assess damage after natural disasters and find safer places to rebuild. The program can also be used for economic site development and selection, high-speed internet deployment, wildlife management, and the planning and development of infrastructure projects.
The program has been in development since funding was allocated beginning in 2022. The governor’s office says all data in the program is made available in the public domain in order to reduce costs related to developing GIS applications.
