ADAM: Geospatial Impact Data for a 6.2 Magnitude Earthquake in Indonesia, May 2026

Geospatial data from the WFP's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system details the impact of a magnitude 6.2 earthquake near Tual, Indonesia on May 14, 2026. The dataset includes the earthquake's epicenter coordinates, depth, and reports that it impacted 357 people within a 50km radius. It was published by the World Food Programme's ADAM system and last updated 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 based on the reported population impact of 357 people.
• Analyze seismic event characteristics for risk modeling using the provided magnitude and depth data.
• Integrate with other geospatial layers for multi-hazard vulnerability assessment in the Indonesia region.

Strengths

• Provides specific, factual event details including magnitude (6.2), depth (146.066 km), and precise epicenter coordinates.
• Includes a concrete impact metric, reporting 357 people affected within 50km of the epicenter.
• Originates from an authoritative operational humanitarian system (WFP ADAM).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and full attribute schema require manual inspection after download.
• Row count and the complete set of data attributes are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect the operational focus and inherent geographic/temporal bias of the ADAM system and the HDX platform.
