Russian Federation GLIDE Disaster Events: Geospatial Disaster Records

GLIDE numbers are GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters registered in records to make information interoperable across multiple sources. The Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) proposed this globally common Unique ID code to address the time-consuming task of accessing scattered disaster information. This dataset, last updated on 2026-06-23, covers disaster events in the Russian Federation.

Use Cases

• Cross-referencing disaster information across UN agencies and international organizations based on the GLIDE number standard.
• Mapping disaster events geographically within the Russian Federation based on the available geospatial file format.
• Analyzing disaster frequency and types in a specific region using the standardized event registration records.
• Integrating disaster data from structured and textual sources using the common unique identifier for interoperability.

Strengths

• Adheres to the GLIDE standard for unique disaster identifiers, promoting interoperability across many major international institutions.
• Available in both GEOJSON and CSV formats, offering flexibility for geospatial and tabular analysis.
• Licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for wide sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and total size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale projects.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness require manual inspection after download.
