🌊 Tsunamis are rare — but they are among the deadliest and most devastating hazards we face.
As the United Nations marks 80 years of global cooperation, we look back at one of its greatest successes: the expansion of tsunami early warning systems after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.
Thanks to sustained international investment, millions of people now have access to life-saving alerts — a legacy that continues to save lives across the globe.
But as sea levels rise and coastal populations grow, the risk is evolving. That’s why UNDRR’s Special Representative, Kamal Kishore, calls on all countries to invest in tsunami preparedness — ensuring that every community, from small islands to major cities, is ready when the next wave comes. 🌍
⏱️ Just 24 hours of warning can reduce damages by up to 30%, and every dollar invested in resilient infrastructure saves four dollars in avoided losses.
