GLIDE Disaster Events: Armenia Disaster Identifiers

GLIDE numbers are global unique identifiers for disasters, designed to make disaster information interoperable across multiple sources. The dataset contains records for disaster events in Armenia, each registered with a GLIDEnumber. It was last updated on 2026-06-23 by the GLIDE Initiative and is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO.

Use Cases

• Cross-reference disaster information from different sources based on the common GLIDE identifier.
• Map disaster events in Armenia based on the geospatial data format.
• Analyze disaster frequency and types in Armenia based on the event records.
• Integrate Armenian disaster data into international databases based on the standardized GLIDE system.

Strengths

• Uses a globally recognized identifier system (GLIDE) adopted by major organizations like UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and IFRC.
• Available in structured formats (CSV, GEOJSON) suitable for analysis.
• Has a clear, open license (CC-BY-3.0-IGO) for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description does not specify the temporal coverage of the events.
