ADAM: Automated Disaster Analysis for a Category 3 Storm in Southeast Asia

WFP’s Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system provides geospatial and socio-economic information following sudden onset humanitarian emergencies. This dataset documents a Category 3 storm event centered near latitude 13.6, longitude 109.1, affecting Viet Nam, Cambodia, Philippines, and Laos from November 01 to November 06, 2025. The data is provided by the World Food Programme's ADAM system and was last updated on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map the storm's path and intensity based on the provided center coordinates and category.
• Analyze potential socio-economic impacts in the affected countries mentioned in the description.
• Model disaster exposure for infrastructure and populations using the geospatial data format.
• Integrate storm event timelines into historical disaster databases for trend analysis.

Strengths

• Data originates from the WFP's operational ADAM system, an authoritative source for humanitarian analysis.
• Provides a precise storm center location (latitude 13.6, longitude 109.1) and a defined event period (Nov 01–06, 2025).
• Available in multiple standard geospatial formats, including SHP and CSV.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
