Gabon Disaster Events with GLIDE Identifiers

GLIDE numbers provide a globally unique identifier for disasters to improve information interoperability across sources. The Asian Disaster Reduction Center proposed this common ID system to address challenges in identifying and accessing scattered disaster data. This dataset catalogs disaster events in Gabon using the GLIDE standard.

Use Cases

• Cross-reference disaster impact assessments based on the GLIDE identifier system.
• Map disaster event locations and timelines in Gabon based on the geospatial data format.
• Analyze disaster frequency and types in Gabon based on the event registry.

Strengths

• Uses the GLIDE standard, which is actively adopted by major organizations like UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and IFRC.
• Available in multiple formats, including GEOJSON and CSV, for different analysis needs.
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for broad 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.
