WFP’s Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system collected, analyzed, and mapped geospatial and socio-economic information following this sudden onset humanitarian emergency. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-21.

Use Cases

• Map the storm's path and intensity based on the provided center coordinates and temporal range.
• Analyze potential socio-economic exposure in affected regions based on the description of the ADAM system's capabilities.
• Model humanitarian needs for China, Viet Nam, and Laos based on the event's geographic scope.
• Integrate geospatial event data with other layers for disaster risk assessment.

Strengths

• Specific event details are provided, including a Category 1 classification, a precise date range (Aug 22 2025-Aug 25 2025), and storm center coordinates (lat 18.6, lon 105.7).
• Data originates from WFP's operational ADAM system, which is designed for humanitarian emergency analysis.
• Available in common geospatial (SHP) and tabular (CSV) formats for interoperability.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and total data size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited to the event summary; detailed data attributes require inspection.
