ADAM: Earthquake Impact Data for Indonesia, February 2026

Indonesia was impacted by a magnitude 5.5 earthquake on February 24, 2026, 25km southwest of Palau Insumoar Island. The dataset, produced by WFP's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system, provides geospatial information on the event, including its epicenter at latitude -2.1052, longitude 138.8515, and an initial impact estimate of 11,721 people within 50km.

Use Cases

• Map the earthquake's epicenter and affected area based on the provided latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Estimate population exposure for initial disaster response based on the 11,721 people impacted figure.
• Analyze earthquake characteristics for risk modeling based on the magnitude 5.5 and depth of 10.633 km.
• Integrate event data into broader disaster monitoring systems based on the automated ADAM system output.

Strengths

• Provides precise geographic coordinates for the earthquake epicenter: -2.1052 latitude, 138.8515 longitude.
• Includes specific impact metrics: magnitude 5.5, depth 10.633 km, and an initial estimate of 11,721 people impacted.
• Originates from an operational humanitarian system (WFP ADAM) designed for rapid analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the specific event and the ADAM system's methodology.
