A collection of disaster event records for Peru using GLIDE (GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters) codes. The data is maintained by the GLIDE Initiative and used by organizations including UN-OCHA, UNDRR, IFRC, and the European Commission. It was last updated on 2026-06-23.

Use Cases

• Track disaster event history across multiple sources based on the GLIDE unique identifier system.
• Analyze spatial patterns of disasters in Peru based on the geospatial data format.
• Integrate disaster information from structured and textual sources based on the interoperable GLIDE number.
• Support cross-border disaster identification and response coordination based on the global ID standard.

Strengths

• Implements a global standard (GLIDE) for disaster identification used by major UN agencies and international bodies.
• Data is available in both GEOJSON and CSV formats, offering flexibility for geospatial and tabular analysis.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-06-23 23:55:48.931071.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count and specific column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the hdx platform's data collection scope.
