Yemen - GLIDE Disaster Events: Geospatial Disaster Records

GLIDE numbers are GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters registered in a record that contains a GLIDEnumber for interoperability across multiple disaster information sources. The dataset is produced by the GLIDE Initiative and was last updated on 2026-06-23. It includes disaster events specifically for Yemen.

Use Cases

• Cross-reference disaster information across UN and international agency reports based on the GLIDE identifier system.
• Map disaster events in Yemen based on the geospatial data format.
• Integrate structured disaster records from multiple sources based on the interoperable unique ID.
• Analyze disaster frequency and types in Yemen based on the event registration records.

Strengths

• Uses a globally adopted unique identifier (GLIDEnumber) for interoperability.
• Actively used by major institutions including UN-OCHA, UNDRR, IFRC, and the European Commission.
• Available in multiple formats including GEOJSON and CSV.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-06-23).
