Statement of the United Nations Secretary-General on the World Tsunami Awareness Day 2023; November 5th. 

By breaking down barriers, fighting inequality and addressing the climate crisis, we can build resilience and ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive, even in the face of nature’s mightiest challenges.

Help communities to engage in action that both reduces risk and readies us for the future. 

We invite partners including national, regional and local governments, international organizations, the UN System, non-governmental organizations, and all relevant stakeholders to contribute to building a culture of early warning and early action and to raise awareness on tsunami preparedness. 

The concept is to engage citizens, raising awareness of tsunami and coastal risk, tailoring the action to the local context. The activity could be a organising a drill, fun run or walk of your tsunami and coastal risk evacuation route, or if you have an event, drill or activity, we warmly invite you to connect it to the #gettohighground.
