Tunisia GLIDE Disaster Events: Geospatial Disaster Identifiers

GLIDE numbers 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 the time-consuming task of accessing scattered disaster data. This dataset, last updated 2026-06-23, contains records for Tunisia using the GLIDE standard adopted by UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and other major institutions.

Use Cases

• Cross-referencing disaster events across different humanitarian information systems based on the GLIDE unique identifier standard.
• Mapping disaster occurrences in Tunisia based on the provided geospatial (GEOJSON) data format.
• Aggregating disaster statistics for Tunisia using the structured disaster records mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data follows the GLIDE standard, which is actively used by UN-OCHA, UNDRR, UNDP, WMO, IFRC, FAO, the European Commission, and CRED.
• Available in both GEOJSON and CSV formats, offering flexibility for geospatial or tabular analysis.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, a recognized open license for humanitarian data.

Limitations

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