A geospatial dataset from WFP's ADAM system details a magnitude 6.1 earthquake that occurred on March 3, 2026, 55km west of Kampong Haloban, Indonesia. The data includes the epicenter coordinates (latitude 2.0344, longitude 96.7729), a depth of 26.162 km, and indicates 3164 people were impacted within a 50km radius. It was last updated by the WFP Automated Disaster Analysis & Mapping organization on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map the earthquake's impact zone based on the provided epicenter coordinates and 50km radius.
• Estimate potential infrastructure damage and humanitarian needs using the magnitude and depth data.
• Integrate with other socio-economic datasets for vulnerability analysis based on the impacted population count.

Strengths

• Specific magnitude (6.1), depth (26.162 km), and impact count (3164 people) are provided.
• Precise epicenter coordinates (latitude 2.0344, longitude 96.7729) enable accurate mapping.
• Data is sourced from WFP's operational Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset describes a single event, limiting temporal analysis.
