Important Days
The theme of this year's World Tsunami Awareness Day is Fighting Inequality for a Resilient Future. "On this year's World Tsunami Awareness Day, November 5, Asia's coastal and island communities can look back and be proud of rebuilding their ways of life and regional economies, as well as receiving early warning services and greater preparedness. “WTAD 2023 activities will focus on raising awareness of the underlying disaster risk drivers – poverty, inequality and other factors of vulnerability – that make tsunamis even more deadly for those already most at risk. The horrors of the 2004 tsunami are fresh in our memory. Millions of people died due to the tsunami. The epicenter of the earthquake was off the west coast of North Sumatra, Indonesia, the tsunami struck the Indian Ocean coast and caused devastation. About Creating awareness is important. The purpose of Tsunami is to tell people about the dangers of these natural disasters and ways to protect themselves and their loved ones.
