ADAM Earthquake Impact Records for the Philippines

Two earthquake events with magnitudes of 5.4 and 5.5 were recorded near Sarangani, Philippines, on June 11, 2026. The dataset provides precise geospatial coordinates, depth, and an initial estimate of population impact within a 50km radius. It is produced by the World Food Programme's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system for rapid humanitarian assessment.

Use Cases

• Mapping earthquake epicenters and affected areas based on latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Estimating initial humanitarian needs using the provided population impact figures.
• Analyzing seismic event characteristics like magnitude and depth for geological hazard studies.
• Integrating event data into larger disaster monitoring and early warning systems.

Strengths

• Provides specific, machine-readable event data including magnitude (5.4, 5.5), depth (72.962 km, 49.891 km), and coordinates.
• Includes a direct impact metric, estimating 2 people affected within 50km for each event.
• Data is generated by an operational humanitarian system (WFP ADAM) designed for rapid analysis.

Limitations

• Critical structural metadata is missing, including column names, row counts, and file sizes.
• The dataset's scope is extremely limited, covering only two specific events from a single day.
• The source and methodology for the population impact estimate are not described.
