Iran experienced a magnitude 5.4 earthquake on August 05, 2025, with an epicenter 70km south of Mohammadabad-E Rigan. The dataset, produced by the WFP's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system, provides geospatial and socio-economic impact analysis, including an estimate of 37,403 people affected within a 50km radius. It was last updated on May 21, 2026.
Use Cases
Modeling population exposure to seismic hazards based on the reported impact radius of 50km.
Mapping the geographic distribution of earthquake effects based on the provided epicenter coordinates.
Analyzing the relationship between earthquake depth (56.726 km) and potential surface impact for risk assessment.
Integrating event data into larger disaster databases for temporal trend analysis in the region.
Strengths
Includes specific impact metrics, such as an estimated 37,403 people affected.
Provides precise geographic coordinates (latitude 28.0285, longitude 59.0845) for the epicenter.
Originates from an operational humanitarian analysis system (WFP ADAM), suggesting a standardized collection method.
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 completeness require manual inspection.
