Marshall Islands - GLIDE Disaster Events: Geospatial Disaster Records

GLIDE numbers provide a globally unique identifier for disasters, enabling interoperability across multiple information sources. The Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) proposed this common ID to address confusion in identifying events across borders. This dataset contains disaster event records for the Marshall Islands, last updated on 2026-06-23.

Use Cases

• Track disaster event history based on the GLIDE unique identifier system.
• Cross-reference disaster information across agencies based on the interoperable GLIDE number.
• Analyze geospatial patterns of disasters in the Marshall Islands based on the GEOJSON file format.

Strengths

• Data is structured for interoperability across major international organizations like UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and IFRC.
• Available in both tabular (CSV) and geospatial (GEOJSON) formats.
• Released under the CC-BY-3.0-IGO license, 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.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is in the future (2026-06-23).
