Bhutan - GLIDE Disaster Events: Geospatial Disaster Records

GLIDE Initiative disaster records for Bhutan, last updated 2026-06-23. The dataset contains GLIDEnumbers, which are global unique identifiers for disasters, enabling interoperability across information sources like UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and IFRC. It is provided in GEOJSON and CSV formats under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license.

Use Cases

• Track and correlate disaster information across international agencies based on GLIDEnumber identifiers.
• Map disaster events in Bhutan and neighboring regions based on geospatial data formats.
• Analyze disaster frequency and types in Bhutan based on the described disaster event records.
• Integrate disaster records with other structured or textual sources based on the interoperable GLIDE system.

Strengths

• Uses a globally recognized identifier (GLIDEnumber) adopted by major institutions like UN-OCHA and IFRC.
• Available in both geospatial (GEOJSON) and tabular (CSV) formats for different analytical needs.
• Has a clear open license (CC-BY-3.0-IGO) permitting reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
