The historical archive

What the archive holds

• 3,062 catalogued hazard events.
• Spanning 2 May 2000 to 5 July 2026.
• Covering all 64 districts of Bangladesh.
• Labelled across 26 hazard-type names.
• 70 events carry GLIDE identifiers linking them to the international disaster register.

The national baseline

The master dataset behind the archive carries 3,324 unique event rows. The archive page publishes the national baseline derived from it: totals, the date range, the most-affected districts and the most frequent hazard types, each shown as a figure and a machine-readable number.

Cross-check against Google Earth Engine

Every row of the master dataset was matched against the Google Earth Engine export that carries its extraction window: 2,870 rows matched and 454 drifted. The drift is dominated by revised GLIDE identifiers rather than coordinates, and every row in the export resolves back to a catalogued event. The full mismatch sample is published on the archive page.
