Solomon Islands Earthquake Impact Data for February 2026

Solomon Islands earthquake impact data from February 21, 2026. The dataset describes a magnitude 6.0 earthquake 55km south of Santa Ana Island, impacting an estimated 808 people within a 50km radius. It was created by the World Food Programme's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system for humanitarian emergency response.

Use Cases

• Map the earthquake's impact zone based on the provided epicenter coordinates and radius.
• Estimate population exposure for humanitarian relief planning based on the reported number of impacted people.
• Analyze seismic event characteristics based on the provided magnitude and depth.

Strengths

• Includes specific event parameters: magnitude 6.0, depth 10.0 km, and precise epicenter coordinates.
• Provides a concrete impact estimate of 808 people within 50km of the epicenter.
• Sourced from an operational UN agency (WFP) system designed for emergency analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The data may reflect the specific methodology and response bias of the ADAM system.
