Togo Disaster Events with GLIDE Unique Identifiers

GLIDE numbers are GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters, proposed by the Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC). The dataset likely contains records of disaster events in Togo, allowing information to be interoperable across multiple sources. It is used by institutions including UN-OCHA, UNDRR, UNDP, WMO, IFRC, FAO, the European Commission, and CRED.

Use Cases

• Track disaster event timelines and impacts based on unique GLIDE identifiers.
• Cross-reference disaster information across structured and textual sources based on interoperable IDs.
• Analyze disaster frequency and types in Togo based on event records.
• Coordinate international humanitarian response based on standardized event identification.

Strengths

• Provides globally unique identifiers (GLIDE numbers) for interoperability.
• Adopted by multiple major international organizations including UN agencies and the European Commission.
• Available in both GEOJSON and CSV formats for different analysis needs.

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.
