Earthquake Impact Data for a Magnitude 5.7 Event in China, January 2025

A magnitude 5.7 earthquake occurred in China on January 08, 2025, with an epicenter 87km west of Madoi. The WFP’s Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system collected this data, which includes the event's coordinates, depth, and an initial impact assessment of 599 people within 50km. The data is provided in GEOJSON format by the World Food Programme's operational disaster mapping system.

Use Cases

• Map the earthquake's epicenter and affected area based on the provided latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Estimate initial humanitarian needs based on the reported count of 599 impacted people within 50km.
• Analyze seismic event characteristics such as magnitude and depth for regional hazard modeling.
• Integrate event data into larger disaster monitoring systems using the provided GEOJSON format.

Strengths

• Provides precise geospatial coordinates (latitude 34.7767, longitude 97.4386) for the epicenter.
• Includes specific factual metrics: a magnitude of 5.7, a depth of 10.0 km, and an impact count of 599 people.
• Sourced from WFP's operational ADAM system, which is designed for rapid disaster analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for statistical modeling.
• The dataset describes a single event, offering limited temporal scope for longitudinal analysis.
