Democratic Republic of the Congo GLIDE Disaster Events

GLIDEnumbers are GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters, designed to make disaster information interoperable across multiple sources. The Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) proposed this common ID to address the time-consuming task of accessing scattered disaster data. This dataset lists disaster events for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, last updated on 2026-06-23.

Use Cases

• Analyze disaster frequency and types in the Democratic Republic of the Congo based on the event registry.
• Integrate disaster event data into mapping and situational awareness platforms based on the geospatial file formats.

Strengths

• Data is structured around a globally recognized unique identifier (GLIDE) adopted by major institutions like UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and IFRC.
• Available in multiple interoperable formats, including GEOJSON and CSV.
• Last updated on 2026-06-23, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations
