New York: World Tsunami Awareness Day is being observed on Tuesday, with a focus on raising awareness about tsunamis and sharing innovative approaches to risk reduction.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the observance of this day underscores the importance of understanding the rare but potentially deadly natural events. The initiative aims to educate the public on the risks associated with tsunamis and to promote the development and sharing of effective strategies to mitigate these risks.
While tsunamis do not occur frequently, their impact can be catastrophic when they do happen. By dedicating a day to awareness, the goal is to encourage communities and individuals to be prepared and informed about the measures that can reduce the loss of life and property.
