World Tsunami Awareness Day Side Event ‘Inclusive preparedness planning’
Organised by The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR)
Over the past 100 years, 58 tsunamis have claimed more than 260,000 lives or an average of 4,600 deaths per disaster. This level of fatalities surpasses that of any other natural hazard. To promote a global culture of tsunami awareness, the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 designated 5 November as World Tsunami Awareness Day. To mark this occasion at the ISCRAM Asia Pacific 2018 conference, this side event will explore the importance of Inclusive preparedness planning.
