Peru Earthquake Impact Data for July 2025 Event

Peru experienced a magnitude 5.4 earthquake on July 06, 2025, with an epicenter 27km SE of Santa Maria De Cahuapanas. The dataset, produced by the WFP's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system, provides geospatial and socio-economic information for the event. It indicates the earthquake impacted an estimated 26,949 people within a 50km radius.

Use Cases

• Map the affected population density based on the reported impact radius of 50km.
• Model seismic risk and vulnerability using the provided magnitude, depth, and epicenter coordinates.
• Coordinate humanitarian response logistics using the geospatial location data for the epicenter.
• Analyze the relationship between earthquake depth and potential surface impact for events in the region.

Strengths

• Includes specific impact metrics, such as 26,949 people affected within 50km.
• Provides precise event parameters, including a magnitude of 5.4 and a depth of 10.0 km.
• Contains exact geographic coordinates (latitude -5.4814, longitude -76.9633) for the epicenter.

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 requires manual inspection after download.
