About: World Tsunami Awareness Day

World Tsunami Awareness Day is an annual event held on 5 November to raise awareness of the dangerous effects of tsunamis and the importance of tsunami preparedness and early warning of tsunamis. It was first established in 2015 by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 70/23. On this day events are held in various countries and people are encouraged to spread awareness on social media. Tsunami awareness is very important as in the past 100 years there have been a total of 58 tsunamis with a combined death toll of over 260,000 people. Between 1998 and 2018 $200 billion was lost due to tsunamis. There is a potential for tsunami death tolls to increase in the future due to the combined effects of population increase in coastal areas and sea level rise. The official theme of World Tsunami Awareness Day 2022 is "#GetToHighGround" which encourages people to practice tsunami evacuation plans, with walks organised in Portugal and Mauritius.
