ADAM: Earthquake Impact Analysis for Colombia, January 2025

WFP’s Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system provides geospatial and socio-economic information following sudden onset humanitarian emergencies. This dataset describes a magnitude 5.6 earthquake that occurred on January 10, 2025, 29 km SW of Bahía Solano, Colombia, impacting an estimated 13,390 people within 50km. The data is provided in GeoJSON format by the World Food Programme's ADAM system.

Use Cases

• Map the earthquake's epicenter and affected area based on the provided latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Estimate population exposure for disaster response planning based on the reported impact on 13,390 people.
• Analyze geospatial impact for risk modeling based on the event's magnitude and depth.

Strengths

• Includes specific event details: magnitude 5.6, depth of 16.31 km, and precise epicenter coordinates (6.0156, -77.5689).
