World Tsunami Awareness Day 2025

The United Nations observe World Tsunami Awareness Day on November 05, 2025. The day takes place annually to raise awareness about the dangers of tsunamis. Proclaimed in 2015 and first celebrated in 2016, it educates communities on preparedness and early warning systems to minimize the devastating effects of tsunamis, which often result in massive loss of life and property.

Due to the repeated, painful experiences experience with tsunamis, Japan has acquired a great deal of expertise in tsunami early warnings, public measures and post-tsunami reconstruction to reduce future tsunami to reduce future impacts. World Tsunami Awareness Day underscores the need for global collaboration in risk reduction, particularly as urbanization and tourism expand in vulnerable coastal areas. It also honors the memory of tsunami victims and calls for increased investment in disaster resilience.
