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

The purpose of WTAD is to raise awareness about reducing tsunami-related risks and enhance community preparedness. To achieve the goal of the Sendai Framework of reducing global disaster risks and losses, the theme of WTAD 2024, which is on 5 November, we will be commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Indian Ocean Tsunami by passing its lessons to a new generation of children and youth.
