Republic of Moldova 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 globally common Unique ID code to address confusion in identifying events across borders. This dataset lists disaster events for the Republic of Moldova using the GLIDE standard.

Use Cases

• Cross-reference disaster impact assessments based on the GLIDE unique identifier system.
• Map disaster events geographically based on the provided GEOJSON file format.
• Analyze disaster frequency and types in Moldova based on the event registry.
• Integrate disaster records with other international databases based on the interoperable GLIDE standard.

Strengths

• Data is structured using the GLIDE standard, which is actively used by UN-OCHA, UNDRR, WMO, IFRC, FAO, and the European Commission.
• Available in both GEOJSON and CSV formats, supporting different analytical workflows.
• Published under the CC-BY-3.0-IGO license, allowing for open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
