Burundi GLIDE Disaster Events: Geospatial Disaster Records

GLIDE Initiative's dataset provides GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters in Burundi. Each disaster is registered with a GLIDEnumber to enable interoperability across multiple information sources, including UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and IFRC. The data is available in GEOJSON and CSV formats and was last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Cross-reference disaster events across international databases based on the GLIDEnumber standard.
• Map disaster occurrences in Burundi based on the geospatial (GEOJSON) format.
• Analyze disaster trends over time based on the event registration records.
• Integrate disaster data with other humanitarian information systems based on the interoperable ID structure.

Strengths

• Uses a globally recognized identifier standard (GLIDEnumber) adopted by major organizations like UN-OCHA and IFRC.
• Available in both geospatial (GEOJSON) and tabular (CSV) formats.
• Last updated on 2026-06-23, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

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