GLIDE Disaster Events: Greece Disaster Identifiers

Use Cases

• Cross-reference disaster impacts across different reporting platforms based on the GLIDE identifier.
• Analyze disaster frequency and distribution in Greece based on the geospatial event records.
• Build a unified disaster database by joining records from multiple organizations using the common GLIDE number.

Strengths

• Data is structured for interoperability across many major international organizations, including UN-OCHA and the European Commission.
• The dataset is available under the CC-BY-3.0-IGO license, allowing for broad reuse.
• Last updated on 2026-06-23, suggesting recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description does not specify the temporal coverage of the recorded events.
