World Tsunami Awareness Day

Educating and Training to Save Lives

This first World Tsunami Awareness Day will focus on education and evacuation drills: two areas where UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission has been at the forefront.

These two themes come together in the Japanese story "Inamura no Hi", which tells how a farmer anticipated the 1854 Ansei Nankai earthquake and tsunami, and saved his fellow villagers by burning his entire rice crop to alert them to the danger. The "Inamura no Hi" story exemplifies the power of knowledgeable citizens to save lives. Education, community awareness of tsunami risk and preparedness go hand in hand with the development of Tsunami Warning Systems. After all, a perfect warning will be useless if people do not know what to do in case of an emergency.
