Remembering the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami: a call to action. This day reflects on the lives lost and reminds us that "hazardous events, particularly low frequency, high impact hazards, can have impacts that ripple across the entire global system."

🌊 In the past 100 years, just 58 tsunamis have claimed more than 260,000 lives.

Tsunamis can be terrifying and deadly for everyone, but their impact is not the same for all.

Tsunamis kill more people than any other sudden-onset natural hazard.🌊

Most are caused by seismic activity, like earthquakes under or near the ocean, but they can also result from landslides or volcanoes.
