About World Tsunami Awareness Day

World Tsunami Awareness Day is one of the international days on the United Nations list. The UN uses these days to draw attention to an issue and to what people around the world are doing about it.

In 2026 it falls on a Thursday; in 2027 it’s on Friday 5 November, and in 2028 on Sunday 5 November. Also in November 2026: Bonfire Night (5 Nov), National Men Make Dinner Day (5 Nov) and World Day of Romani Language (5 Nov). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
