Albania environment data

GLIDEnumbers are GLobal unique IDEntifiers for Disasters. Each disaster is registered in a record that contains a GLIDEnumber that uniquely identifies it and allows information to be interoperable across multiple disaster information sources, both structured and textual. Accessing disaster information can be a time consuming and laborious task. Not only is data scattered but frequently identification of the disaster can be confusing in countries with many disaster events and across borders. To address both of these issues, Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) proposed a globally common Unique ID code for disasters. Among the institutions using actively GLIDEnumbers are UN-OCHA (ReliefWeb, FSCC, HDX), UNDRR, UNDP, WMO, IFRC, FAO, the European Commission and the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), among many others. Country datasets are only produced for countries with at least one GLIDE event since 1 January 2022. The global dataset contains all events available from the GLIDE API, including those not assigned to a country.

Disaster loss and damage data for Albania at several levels of disaggregation

This dataset contains Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping products for activation EMSR915. On 05 August 2026, during the morning, several wildfires were reported to have affected the area of Riban village, Mallakaster municipality, Fier district, and Dardhës mountain, Librazhd municipality, Elbasan district. The event was ongoing and spreading. Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping was requested to provide burnt area delineation and damage assessment emergency mapping. **Citation:** Copernicus Emergency Management Service (© 2026 European Union), EMSR915 **Product types present in this dataset's resources:** **DEL (Delineation)**: maps the extent of the event itself (eg. flood, fire, landslide boundary). Where a GeoPackage download is available for an Area of Interest/round, it already contains every layer with its official Copernicus styling and colours - prefer it in GIS software over the zipped shapefile download.

This dataset contains Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping products for activation EMSR917. On 11/08/2026 at 12:00, a wildfire was detected in Lurë National Park, Municipality of Dibër, Albania. The fire has affected pastureland and pine forest areas and spread under conditions of high fuel load and low humidity. Ground and aerial firefighting resources were deployed, while firebreaks were established to protect nearby villages at risk. Copernicus EMS Rapid Mapping was requested to provide wildfire extent and damage assessment mapping to support operational response and planning activities. **Citation:** Copernicus Emergency Management Service (© 2026 European Union), EMSR917 **Product types present in this dataset's resources:** **DEL (Delineation)**: maps the extent of the event itself (eg. flood, fire, landslide boundary). **GRA (Grading)**: assesses damage to individual features (eg. buildings, infrastructure). Where a GeoPackage download is available for an Area of Interest/round, it already contains every layer with its official Copernicus styling and colours - prefer it in GIS software over the zipped shapefile download.
