Vanuatu - GLIDE Disaster Events: Disaster Records with Unique Identifiers

Vanuatu disaster events registered with GLIDE (GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters) codes. The dataset contains records that uniquely identify each disaster to enable interoperability across multiple information sources. It is provided by the GLIDE Initiative and was last updated on 2026-06-23.

Use Cases

• Link disaster records across different databases based on the GLIDE number.
• Analyze disaster event frequency and impact in Vanuatu based on registered disaster records.
• Integrate disaster information from UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and other listed organizations using the common identifier.
• Map disaster events geographically based on the provided geospatial file formats.

Strengths

• Uses a globally common unique ID code (GLIDE) adopted by major organizations like UN-OCHA, UNDRR, and IFRC.
• Available in both tabular (CSV) and geospatial (GEOJSON) formats for different analysis needs.
• License is clearly stated as CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for reuse with attribution.

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.
