China Earthquake Impact Data for December 4, 2025 Event

A geospatial dataset from the WFP's ADAM system detailing a magnitude 5.8 earthquake in China on December 4, 2025. The data includes the epicenter location, depth, and an estimate of 12,131 people impacted within a 50km radius. It was last updated by the WFP Automated Disaster Analysis & Mapping system on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map the affected population density based on the reported 12,131 impacted people within 50km.
• Model seismic risk and vulnerability using the provided magnitude, depth, and epicenter coordinates.
• Coordinate initial humanitarian response by visualizing the event's geographic footprint mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Includes specific impact metrics, such as 12,131 people affected within 50km.
• Provides precise event parameters, including a magnitude of 5.8 and a depth of 10.0 km.
• Originates from an operational humanitarian analysis system (WFP ADAM).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last metadata update was 2026-05-21.
