- The day aims to promote the global awareness about tsunami risks and the importance of early warning systems, preparedness, and community resilience.
- The observance was established by the United Nations in 2015.
- Tsunamis are rare but can cause massive destruction; over 2.5 lakh people have lost their lives to tsunamis globally in the past century.
- The date, November 5, was inspired by the Japanese story “Inamura-no-hi” (The Burning of the Rice Sheaves), where a farmer saved villagers by alerting them of an approaching tsunami.
- The theme for 2025 is “Be Tsunami Ready: Invest in Tsunami Preparedness.”
