ESCAP - IRIDeS Expert Group Meeting on Improving Disaster Data to Build Resilience in Asia and the Pacific (30 Sep 01 Oct) GLIDE (GLobal unique disaster IDEntifier) Disaster Event Numbering System 01 OCT 2013 Asian Disaster Reduction Center Kiyoshi NATORI (Executive Director) 1
Brief History of GLIDE Difficulty in disaster data gathering, because of - No links between databases - No standardized naming protocol for disasters ; eg. (West) India / Gujarat / Bhuj Earthquake eg. Kobe / Hanshin-Awaji / Hyogo-Nanbu Earthquake To facilitate effective information sharing GLIDE has been developed since in 2001 by ADRC with OCHA ReliefWeb and LaRED 2
What is Good about GLIDE? Easy connection between disaster information archived by various organizations A one-stop search and all the necessary data Aggregating the effects of disasters in an easy way - Regional level: effects on multiple countries of the same phenomena 3
Structure of GLIDE Hazard Code Serial Number TS-2013-000147-JPN Year ISO Country Code Hazard code: 2 digits Year: 4 digits Serial Number by year: 6 digits Country Code: 3 digits (ISO country code) (Cambodia: KHM, Indonesia: IDN, Myanmar: MMR) 4
24 Disaster Types in GLIDE CW - Cold Wave CE - Complex Emergency DR - Drought EQ - Earthquake EP - Epidemic EC - Extra-tropical Cyclone FR - Fire FF - Flash Flood FL - Flood HT - Heat Wave IN - Insect Infestation LS - Land Slide MS - Mud Slide OT - Other ST - Severe Local Storm AV - Snow Avalanche SS - Storm Surge AC - Tech. Disaster TO - Tornadoes TC - Tropical Cyclone TS - Tsunami VW - Violent Wind VO - Volcano WF - Wild fire 5

Criteria for Generation of GLIDE number GLIDE should be generated based on a certain criteria ADRC s criteria for the generation of GLIDE A) Japan: Five (5) or more people killed, hundred (100) or more people injured, thousand (1,000) or more people affected B) Asia: Ten (10) or more people killed, hundred (100) or more people injured, thousand (1,000) or more affected C) Other Areas: Hundred (100) or more people killed, thousand (1,000) or more people injured, ten thousand (10,000) or more people affected Each country s criteria could include; Casualties (dead / injured / affected) Damages to agriculture, infrastructure Declaration of a state of emergency Call for international assistance 14

Conclusion GLIDE was originally designed for global-scale disaster data base. Multi-country hazards were registered more frequently. But GLIDE number may fail to register small (maybe local) disasters and man-made disasters. 20
