Though they may be rare, tsunamis are among the most devastating natural hazards. They know no coastal borders.

Coastal communities ¨C often concentrated in low-lying and highly populated areas ¨C are the most potentially vulnerable to coastal hazards including tsunamis, with heavy human and economic losses. International cooperation is key for deeper political and public understanding; as well as involvement in reducing our risks from these coastal natural hazards.

In December 2015, the United Nations General Assembly designated 5 November as World Tsunami Awareness Day, to promote a global culture of awareness of and preparedness against tsunamis.
