China Earthquake Impact Analysis for Diebu, January 2026

A geospatial dataset from WFP's ADAM system details a magnitude 5.5 earthquake near Diebu, China, on January 26, 2026. The data includes the epicenter coordinates, depth, and an estimate of 30,897 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 based on the provided 50km impact radius and epicenter coordinates.
• Model seismic risk and vulnerability using the recorded magnitude, depth, and location data.
• Coordinate emergency logistics by analyzing the geographic extent of the earthquake's impact.
• Integrate with socio-economic datasets for rapid post-disaster needs assessment.

Strengths

• Includes specific factual metrics: magnitude 5.5, depth 10.0 km, and 30,897 people impacted.
• Provides precise geographic coordinates (latitude 34.0278, longitude 103.3047) for the epicenter.
• Sourced from an operational humanitarian system (WFP ADAM) designed for emergency analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's row count and full attribute schema are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single, specific event.
