The dataset, created by the WFP's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system, provides geospatial and impact analysis for the event, including an estimated 1,839,955 people within 50km of the epicenter. It was last updated on May 21, 2026.
Use Cases
Map the estimated population exposure based on the provided 50km impact radius.
Analyze the relationship between earthquake magnitude, depth, and potential impact area.
Model disaster response logistics using the precise geographic coordinates of the epicenter.
Integrate event data into regional seismic hazard and vulnerability assessments.
Strengths
Includes a specific impact estimate of 1,839,955 people within the 50km radius.
Provides precise geographic coordinates (latitude 26.761, longitude 92.2473) for the epicenter.
Contains specific event parameters: magnitude 5.9 and depth of 10.0 km.
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.
Data may reflect the operational focus and methodology bias inherent to the WFP ADAM system.
