Earthquake Impact Analysis for the Russian Federation, October 2025

A geospatial dataset from the World Food Programme's ADAM system detailing a magnitude 5.5 earthquake near Severo-Kuril'sk, Russia, on October 25, 2025. The data includes the epicenter coordinates, depth, and an estimate of 169 people impacted within a 50km radius. It was last updated by the WFP Automated Disaster Analysis & Mapping system in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Map the earthquake's epicenter and affected area based on the provided latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Estimate population exposure for rapid needs assessment using the provided impact count of 169 people.
• Model seismic hazard and risk by incorporating the event's magnitude and depth parameters.
• Integrate event data into larger disaster analysis workflows using the provided ADAM system identifier.

Strengths

• Includes specific event parameters: magnitude 5.5, depth of 82.098 km, and precise epicenter coordinates.
• Provides a concrete impact metric, estimating 169 people within the 50km radius.
• Sourced from an operational humanitarian analysis system (WFP ADAM).
• Available in standard geospatial formats (GEOJSON, CSV).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
