Every year on November 5, the United Nations marks World Tsunami Awareness Day, calling for stronger early-warning systems, preparedness and coastal resilience.
Although tsunamis are rare, they can be devastating1 claiming hundreds of thousands of lives in extreme cases. With rising sea levels and growing coastal populations, building reliable alert networks is a global priority. 🌏⚠️

For young professionals, students and explorers, this push shows how science, policy and grassroots action can join forces to protect lives. Keep an eye on this wave of change1 it’s a case study in resilience you won’t want to miss!
