Guatemala Earthquake Impact Analysis for July 2025 Event

A geospatial dataset from the World Food Programme's ADAM system details the impact of a magnitude 5.4 earthquake in Guatemala on July 29, 2025. The data includes the epicenter location, depth, and estimates that 1,082,339 people were impacted within a 50km radius. This dataset was last updated on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map population exposure to seismic hazards based on the reported impacted population count.
• Model earthquake risk and vulnerability based on the provided epicenter coordinates and magnitude.
• Coordinate initial disaster response efforts based on the geographic impact area described.
• Integrate with other socio-economic layers for post-disaster needs analysis based on the system's stated purpose.

Strengths

• Includes specific factual details: magnitude 5.4, depth 10.0 km, and 1,082,339 impacted people.
• Provides precise geographic coordinates (latitude 14.1377, longitude -89.8349) for the epicenter.
• Originates from an operational humanitarian analysis system (WFP ADAM), suggesting a defined use case.

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 and completeness require manual inspection after download.
