Indonesia Earthquake on May 05 2026: Impact Analysis for 77,780 People

A magnitude 5.8 earthquake occurred on May 05, 2026, 54km south of Waikabubak, Indonesia, at a depth of 35.536 km. The dataset, last updated on 2026-05-21, contains geospatial analysis from the WFP's ADAM system, estimating the event impacted 77,780 people within a 50km radius. It is provided by the WFP Automated Disaster Analysis & Mapping organization under a CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Map population exposure based on the reported 77,780 people impacted within 50km.
• Model seismic hazard and risk using the provided magnitude (5.8) and depth (35.536 km).
• Coordinate emergency response by analyzing the epicenter location (latitude -10.1135, longitude 119.3245).
• Integrate impact assessments into larger disaster management systems using the GEOJSON format.

Strengths

• Includes specific impact metrics, such as 77,780 people affected within a defined 50km radius.
• Provides precise event parameters: magnitude 5.8, depth 35.536 km, and exact epicenter coordinates.
• Data is structured in a standard geospatial format (GEOJSON) for interoperability.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect the operational focus and collection bias inherent to the WFP's ADAM system.
