World Tsunami Awareness Day — UN commemoration

UN Web TV lists a World Tsunami Awareness Day commemoration for 5 November. The programme brings disaster preparedness into a public discussion involving institutions, scientists and communities.

The scheduled activity offers a starting point for comparing institutional perspectives with research and community experience. Viewers can use a shared board to bring together public statements, explanatory material and reporting from different places. Individual programmes and speaking arrangements should be consulted when choosing a particular discussion to follow. Use the scheduled UN broadcast as an anchor and add coastal-country perspectives; awareness coverage is not a tsunami warning.
