Sudan Flood Impact on Population and Cropland, August 2025

An estimated 340,470 people and 533,962 hectares of cropland were affected by a flood in Sudan on August 4, 2025. The data is produced by the World Food Programme's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system for rapid humanitarian response. It was last updated on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Estimate immediate humanitarian needs based on the reported population affected.
• Assess agricultural damage and food security implications based on the reported cropland area affected.
• Model flood impact zones for targeted relief distribution based on geospatial data.
• Integrate with other socio-economic layers for vulnerability analysis based on the ADAM system's stated purpose.

Strengths

• Provides specific impact figures: 340,470 people and 533,962 hectares of cropland.
• Originates from an operational UN system (WFP ADAM) designed for emergency analysis.
• Data is georeferenced, as indicated by the GEOTIFF file format.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset describes a single event; temporal coverage is limited to August 2025.
• Freshness should be verified as the last metadata update was in May 2026.
