Satellite images available on Google are always a year or two old. It would not surprise me if obtaining, say, a 2-7 day old image is fairly costly but I would expect it to be possible. Does anyone know how one would go about this and how much an image covering for example an area 5-8km each way might cost ?
I think you are seeking the impossible, unless you are a billionaire.
What you want I believe is only available to Governmental Services and would involve 'Spy Satellites'. Anyway, why are you seeking such a facility, are you planning some form of Espionage. ?
For those who need to know: Any area that suffers a major terrain changing natural disaster covering tens of thousands of hectares, the wait for it to become visible on google is anything up to 4 years it seems - and maybe not an image immediately following the change at that. Of course there are those who regard curiosity about such things highly irregular, treasonous and worse. There are civilian satellites in orbit which photograph everything in their path at least once a week but I don't know which or by whom they are owned/controlled/used. I know of one source for weather satellite images (high orbit) but that is all.
