GLIDE Disaster Events: Türkiye Disaster Identifiers and Records

GLIDE numbers are GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters, proposed by the Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC). Each disaster is registered in a record containing a GLIDEnumber that uniquely identifies it, enabling interoperability across sources like UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and IFRC. The dataset covers Türkiye and was last updated on 2026-06-23.

Use Cases

• Link disaster information across structured and textual sources based on the GLIDE unique identifier.
• Track disaster events across borders in regions with many events based on the interoperable ID system.
• Integrate disaster data from multiple institutional sources like UN-OCHA and FAO based on the common identifier.

Strengths

• Provides a globally common unique ID code for disasters, facilitating data interoperability.
• Actively used by major institutions including UN-OCHA, UNDRR, WMO, IFRC, and the European Commission.
• Available in both GEOJSON and CSV formats for flexible use.

Limitations

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