Earthquake Impact Analysis for Bigadiç, Turkey, August 2025

A magnitude 6.1 earthquake impacted over 600,000 people near Bigadiç, Turkey, on August 10, 2025. The dataset, produced by the World Food Programme's ADAM system, provides geospatial and socio-economic analysis for this sudden-onset emergency. It includes the event's epicenter coordinates, depth, and estimated population exposure within a 50km radius.

Use Cases

• Map population exposure to seismic hazards based on the provided 50km impact radius and epicenter coordinates.
• Model ground shaking intensity for risk assessment using the provided magnitude and depth parameters.
• Integrate event data into regional disaster databases for trend analysis based on the standardized ADAM event record.
• Prioritize emergency response areas by analyzing the spatial distribution of the impacted population.

Strengths

• Includes precise event parameters: magnitude 6.1, depth of 10.0 km, and epicenter coordinates.
• Quantifies humanitarian impact with an estimate of 609,852 people affected within 50km.
• Produced by an operational UN agency (WFP) system (ADAM) 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 for statistical modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and granularity require manual inspection after download.
