WFP ADAM Earthquake Impact Analysis for the Philippines, January 2025

WFP’s Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system provides geospatial data on a magnitude 5.7 earthquake near Liloan, Philippines, on January 22, 2025. The dataset includes the epicenter coordinates, depth, and an estimate of 450,336 people impacted within a 50km radius. It was last updated by the WFP Automated Disaster Analysis & Mapping system on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling population exposure to seismic hazards based on the provided impact radius and population estimate.
• Mapping the earthquake's epicenter and affected area for situational awareness using the provided latitude and longitude.
• Integrating event data into disaster risk models based on the reported magnitude and depth.

Strengths

• Includes specific event parameters: magnitude 5.7, depth of 9.0 km, and precise epicenter coordinates.
• Provides a concrete impact metric: 450,336 people estimated within 50km of the epicenter.
• Sourced from an operational humanitarian analysis system (WFP ADAM).

Limitations

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