Abstract

UNOSAT code: EQ20250901AFG, GDACS ID: 1498339 This application provides geospatial information on ongoing satellite based-assessment related with the 6.0 M magnitude earthquake in Afghanistan on the 31 August 2025

Important note: The boundaries and names shown, and the designations used on this map do not imply official end

Each row in this dataset represents first-level administrative unit observations. Data was last updated on HDX on 2026-03-24. Geographic scope: AFG.

Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by [Electric Sheep Africa](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica).

Quick Start

from datasets import load_dataset

ds    = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/asia-aid-flows-unosat-live-web-map-m-6-0-afghanistan-ea")
train = ds["train"].to_pandas()
test  = ds["test"].to_pandas()

print(train.shape)
train.head()

Schema

Numeric Summary

Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snakecase. Common missing-value markers (`N/A`, `null`, `none`, `-`, `unknown`, `no data`, `#N/A`) were unified to `NaN`. 3 column(s) with >80% missing values were removed: `populationinviiiseverezone`, `populationinviiverystrongzone, populationinvistrongzone`. 3 exact duplicate rows were removed. The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

Limitations

• —Data originates from United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT) and has not been independently validated by ESA.
• —Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
• —The following columns have >20% missing values and should be treated with caution in modelling: population_in_v_moderate_zone, population_in_below_iv_light_zone.
• —Refer to the original HDX dataset page for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
