Earthquake Impact Analysis for the Philippines, July 2026

WFP’s Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system collected this data following a magnitude 5.8 earthquake in the Philippines on July 06, 2026. The dataset likely contains geospatial and socio-economic information on the event, which impacted an estimated 26,037 people within 50km of the epicenter. It was last updated on 2026-07-06.

Use Cases

• Modeling population exposure to seismic hazards based on the reported impact radius.
• Mapping the earthquake's geographic footprint based on the provided epicenter coordinates.
• Analyzing socio-economic vulnerability in the affected area based on the description of included information types.
• Integrating event data into disaster early warning systems based on the automated collection method.

Strengths

• Includes specific event details: magnitude 5.8, depth 35.0 km, and precise epicenter coordinates.
• Provides a concrete impact estimate of 26,037 people within a 50km radius.
• Data is sourced from an operational UN system (WFP ADAM) for humanitarian emergencies.
• Available in multiple analysis-ready formats, including GeoJSON and CSV.

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 and completeness require manual inspection.
