Pakistan Flood Impact on Population and Cropland, September 2025

WFP’s Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system provides geospatial data on a flood that occurred in Pakistan on September 18, 2025. The event affected an estimated 16,793,460 people and 2,637,108 hectares of cropland. The dataset is provided in GEOTIFF format and was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Estimate population displacement and humanitarian needs based on the reported affected population of 16.8 million.
• Assess agricultural damage and food security implications based on the reported 2.6 million hectares of affected cropland.
• Model flood extent and severity for future risk mitigation planning based on the geospatial data format.
• Coordinate emergency response and resource allocation for the September 2025 Pakistan flood event.

Strengths

• Provides specific impact figures: 16,793,460 affected people and 2,637,108 affected hectares of cropland.
• Originates from an operational humanitarian system (WFP ADAM) designed for rapid disaster analysis.
• Data is georeferenced, provided in the standard GEOTIFF format for spatial analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description does not specify the spatial resolution or source of the underlying geospatial data.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analytical methods.
