Lebanon 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.

**UNOSAT code: FR20191016LBN** This map illustrates satellite-detected burned areas in Aley and Chouf districts, in Lebanon, based on SPOT-6 imagery acquired on 19 October 2019. Approximately 1275 ha of potentially burned areas were detected by Copernicus-EMS as of 17 October 2019 (orange) and additional 92 ha of burned were detected by UNOSAT as of 19 October 2019 (red), which is equivalent to approximately 7% increase in affected surface area. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

# Lebanon Explosion: Damage Proxy Maps, Aug 2020 The Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis (ARIA) team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech, in collaboration with the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS), produced these damage proxy maps for Lebanon Explosion (Aug 2020) from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite images. Each map is a separate ZIP below with its GeoTIFF, a KMZ for Google Earth, the PNG figures and a text file describing how it was made and how to read it. ## Maps in this dataset - **ARIA-SG Damage Proxy Map: Lebanon, Explosion, 4-5 Aug 2020, v0.5** - **ARIA-SG Damage Proxy Map: Lebanon, Explosion, 4-5 Aug 2020, v0.5** **More map details and files:**
