WFP ADAM: Tropical Depression Event in India and Sri Lanka, November 2025

WFP’s Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system collected and mapped geospatial and socio-economic information for a tropical depression from November 27 to 29, 2025. The storm's center was located near latitude 10.5 and longitude 80.8, affecting Sri Lanka and India. This dataset is provided by the World Food Programme's operational system for sudden-onset humanitarian emergencies.

Use Cases

• Map the storm's path and intensity based on the provided center coordinates (lat 10.5, lon 80.8).
• Analyze potential socio-economic impacts in affected regions using the integrated socio-economic information mentioned in the description.
• Model disaster response scenarios for tropical depressions based on the event's temporal range (Nov 27-29, 2025).
• Integrate this event data with other geospatial layers for regional risk assessment.

Strengths

• Data originates from WFP's operational ADAM system, designed for humanitarian emergency analysis.
• Includes precise geographic coordinates (lat 10.5, lon 80.8) for the storm's center.
• Covers a specific 3-day event period from November 27 to 29, 2025.
• Available in common geospatial (SHP) and tabular (CSV) formats for interoperability.

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 attribute completeness require manual inspection.
