DESCRIPTION:

In December 2015, the UN General Assembly designated November 5 as World Tsunami Awareness Day.

The date honors the Japanese story of “Inamura-no-hi,” meaning the “burning of the rice sheaves.”

On December 23, 1854, an 8.4 earthquake hit Tokai, Japan. In its aftermath, a farmer saw the tide receding, a sign of a looming tsunami. He set fire to his entire harvest to warn villagers, who fled to high ground. Afterward, he built a dam and planted trees as a buffer against future waves.


The UN General Assembly called on all countries, international bodies, and civil society to observe the day to raise tsunami awareness and share innovative approaches to risk reduction.
