Mongolia Earthquake Impact Analysis for April 26 2026

3984 people were impacted within 50km of a magnitude 5.9 earthquake that occurred 74km west of Darvi, Mongolia on April 26, 2026. The dataset is provided by the World Food Programme's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system, which collects and maps geospatial and socio-economic information following emergencies. It was last updated on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map the earthquake's impact zone based on the provided epicenter coordinates and 50km radius.
• Estimate population exposure for disaster response planning based on the reported impact on 3984 people.
• Analyze geospatial patterns of seismic events based on the recorded latitude, longitude, and depth.

Strengths

• Includes specific event details: magnitude 5.9, depth of 10.0 km, and precise epicenter coordinates (latitude 46.7887, longitude 92.9681).
• Quantifies human impact with a specific figure of 3984 people affected within a 50km radius.
• Sourced from an operational humanitarian analysis system (WFP ADAM), suggesting a structured data collection process.

Limitations

• Row count and sample data are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the specific event and the hdx platform's reporting scope.
