In December 2015, the UN General Assembly designated 5 November as World Tsunami Awareness Day.\u00a0The Assembly called on all countries, international bodies and civil society to observe the day, in order to raise tsunami awareness and share innovative approaches to risk reduction.<\/p>\n

The debut World Tsunami Awareness Day focuses on education and evacuation drills.<\/p>\n

The date for the annual celebration was chosen in honour of the Japanese story of \u201cInamura-no-hi\u201d, meaning the \u201cburning of the rice sheaves\u201d. During a\u00a01854 earthquake, 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. Afterwards, he built an embankment and planted trees as a buffer against future waves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
