ADAM Earthquake Event: Magnitude 5.7 Near Kamchatka, August 2025

A geospatial dataset from the WFP's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system documenting a magnitude 5.7 earthquake near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, on August 1, 2025. The record includes the epicenter coordinates, depth, and an estimate of 45 people impacted within a 50km radius. The data was last updated on May 21, 2026, and is provided by the World Food Programme's operational disaster mapping system.

Use Cases

• Map the earthquake's impact zone based on the provided epicenter coordinates and radius.
• Correlate seismic magnitude and depth with estimated population exposure for risk modeling.
• Integrate event data into historical disaster databases for temporal trend analysis in the Kamchatka region.

Strengths

• Includes specific event parameters: magnitude 5.7, depth of 35.0 km, and precise latitude/longitude coordinates.
• Provides a concrete impact metric: 45 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; this appears to be a single event record.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and additional attributes require manual inspection after download.
