Synopsis (short abstract) On 6 February 2023, two devastating earthquakes struck southern Türkiye also affecting the northwestern governorates of the Syrian Arab Republic, causing extensive damage to agricultural livelihoods and production. This Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) report presents the results of the assessment carried out in March 2023 conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Data collection lasted for seven days and took place from 9 to 15 March. A total of 190 interviews were conducted in 135 communities. FAO created the DIEM-Impact system to provide a rapid, granular analysis of the consequences of large-scale hazards on agricultural value chains and livelihoods. This analysis is based on a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information collection, remote sensing technologies, and FAO's damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact can be activated in the context of sudden-onset and slow-onset hazards, natural or human-induced, including floods, cyclones and tropical storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, drought, invasive pests such as fall armyworm, pandemics and economic crises.

    On 22 June 2022, a 5.9 earthquake struck Afghanistan's central region. The provinces of Khost and Paktika were the most affected. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) established Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence. In July and August 2022, DIEM-Impact conducted an impact assessment to evaluate the effects of the earthquake on agricultural livelihoods and food security across three districts in the affected provinces. This report presents the results of the assessment.

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) established Data in Emergencies Hazard Impact Assessment (DIEM-Impact) to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods, using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. The Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai undersea volcano in the Kingdom of Tonga erupted on 15 January 2022. The eruption resulted in two events with potential impact on agriculture livelihoods and all agriculture sub-sectors: (i) a volcanic ash cloud; and (ii) a tsunami. The Government of Tonga declared a state of emergency on 16 January 2022. This is FAO's Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai Volcano Eruption DIEM-Impact Update No. 2. It presents initial post-disaster observations and recommendations that humanitarian actors can use to assess the situation and plan emergency data-driven livelihood support.
