Tsunamis are destructive natural phenomena caused by sea waves that can occur after earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or other geological events. Activities are held on this day to raise public awareness on how to recognize the signs of an upcoming tsunami and what to do if one approaches. This is important because timely warnings and knowledge of safe areas can save lives. World Tsunami Awareness Day also highlights the importance of international cooperation in tsunami monitoring and warning.
