#gettohighground

By breaking down barriers, fighting inequality and addressing the climate crisis, we can build resilience and ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive, even in the face of nature’s mightiest challenges. On World Tsunami Awareness Day, let us commit to leaving no one behind when a tsunami strikes, and work together to secure a safe, prosperous future for all.

We invite partners including national, regional and local governments, international organizations, the UN System, non-governmental organizations, and all relevant stakeholders to contribute to building a culture of early warning and early action and to raise awareness on tsunami preparedness. 

The concept is to engage citizens, raising awareness of tsunami and coastal risk, tailoring the action to the local context. The activity could be a organising a drill, fun run or walk of your tsunami and coastal risk evacuation route, or if you have an event, drill or activity, we warmly invite you to connect it to the #gettohighground.

Women, children and youth, people with disabilities & older persons- often confront heightened challenges, both during & after a tsunami.
