📰 CRED Crunch Newsletter No. 79 is out! 📰

Learn more about 🌍Global enhancement of 💥EM-DAT disaster data ⚙️interoperability here:https://files.emdat.be/2025/08/CredCrunch79.pdf

Last year, the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters team at the Institute of Health and Society (IRSS-UCLouvain) worked on improving disaster data interoperability by expanding the coverage of GLIDE unique disaster identifiers referenced in the Emergency Events Database EMDAT.

❓ GLIDE numbers are unique global identifiers issued by the Asian Disaster Reduction Center to improve emergency response coordination and data interoperability across disaster data systems. https://www.glidenumber.net/

📈 The update increased GLIDE number coverage in EM-DAT by 74%, facilitating easier comparison, development of disaster event linkage models, and the compilation of a multi-source consolidated disaster dataset for disaster risk research and management.
