An estimated 434,721 people and 371,911 hectares of cropland were affected by a flood in Mali on September 11, 2025. This geospatial dataset is produced by the World Food Programme's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system for rapid emergency response. The data was last updated on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Estimate population displacement and humanitarian needs based on the reported number of affected people.
• Assess agricultural damage and food security implications based on the reported area of affected cropland.
• Model flood extent and severity for future risk reduction planning based on the geospatial nature of the data.
• Coordinate multi-agency emergency response by providing a common operational picture of the disaster.

Strengths

• Quantifies impact with specific figures: 434,721 people and 371,911 hectares of cropland affected.
• Produced by an operational UN agency (WFP) system (ADAM) designed for emergency analysis.
• Data is provided under a permissive CC-BY-SA-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last metadata update was in May 2026 for a 2025 event.
