🌊 A powerful magnitude 8.8 earthquake in eastern Russia triggered tsunami alerts across the Pacific — from Japan to Guam, Hawaii, and the U.S. West Coast. The threat traveled thousands of kilometers within hours, proving a hard truth: disasters don’t stop at borders.
In this video, Kamal Kishore, Head of the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), explains how tsunamis can start in one country and endanger lives across entire regions — and why global cooperation and early warning systems are critical for disaster preparedness.
🚨 Key message: When it comes to tsunamis and other transboundary hazards, no country can act alone. Only through multilateral action and shared risk information can we protect lives and communities.
▶️ Learn why the UN is calling for Early Warnings for All, and how international collaboration can save lives from the world’s deadliest hazards.
