Because the two minutes are really matter.

Theme for this year

Community Tsunami Awareness

Despite being the largest share in the world’s demographic and the most potential group of people, the youth are also the most at risk. The youth commonly have the smallest voice when it comes to engagement in development, while they will be highly affected by that development. Similarly, in disaster risk reduction, including tsunami hazards, the youth also have less opportunity to voice and be involved in community preparedness and capacity building.

Hazard and/or Risk Communication

Community Tsunami Preparedness

Public Tsunami Awareness / Education in schools or community

Tsunami Exercise in schools or community
