GLIDE Disaster Events: Cambodia Disaster Records with Unique IDs

GLIDE Initiative maintains a global registry of disaster events with unique identifiers (GLIDEnumbers) to enable interoperability across information sources. The dataset covers disaster events in Cambodia, provided in CSV and GeoJSON formats by the GLIDE Initiative. It was last updated on 2026-06-23.

Use Cases

• Link disaster impact data across different reports based on the common GLIDEnumber.
• Map disaster event locations in Cambodia based on the geospatial file format.
• Analyze disaster frequency and types in Cambodia based on the event registry.
• Integrate disaster records into humanitarian information systems based on the interoperability standard.

Strengths

• Uses a globally recognized unique identifier (GLIDEnumber) adopted by major organizations like UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and IFRC.
• Available in both tabular (CSV) and geospatial (GeoJSON) formats for different analysis needs.
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for commercial and non-commercial reuse with attribution.

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.
