Uzbekistan - GLIDE Disaster Events: Geospatial Disaster Records

GLIDE numbers provide a global unique identifier for disasters, enabling interoperability across multiple information sources. The Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) proposed this common ID to address the challenge of accessing scattered and confusing disaster information. This dataset contains disaster event records for Uzbekistan, last updated on 2026-06-23.

Use Cases

• Cross-reference disaster events across international databases based on the GLIDE identifier.
• Analyze disaster frequency and location patterns in Uzbekistan based on geospatial event records.
• Build a disaster information lookup tool based on the standardized GLIDE number system.

Strengths

• Data uses a globally recognized identifier (GLIDE number) adopted by UN-OCHA, UNDRR, IFRC, and other major institutions.
• Files are available in both GEOJSON and CSV formats, offering flexibility for analysis.
• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting sharing and adaptation with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the HDX platform's sourcing.
