Use Cases

• Map the earthquake's impact zone based on the provided epicenter coordinates and 50km radius.
• Estimate affected population for resource allocation based on the reported 244,499 impacted people.
• Analyze seismic event characteristics based on the reported magnitude and depth.
• Integrate socio-economic vulnerability layers for risk assessment based on the description of ADAM's analysis capabilities.

Strengths

• Provides specific impact metrics, including 244,499 people affected.
• Contains precise event details: magnitude 5.8, depth 10.0, and exact epicenter coordinates.
• Sourced from an operational UN agency (WFP) system designed for rapid disaster analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified; the last metadata update was over a year after the event.
