    Launched on the occasion of the 2018 World Tsunami Awareness Day, the child-friendly booklet is for kids who are 6-12 years old to generate tsunami awareness among children through animated characters and simple but strong messages.

    The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction highlights children as among the most vulnerable groups who must be empowered to get ready for natural hazards and play a vital role in preventing and reducing risk. The booklet provides relevant tsunami facts and explains both how to identify a tsunami and how to cope with one.
