World Tsunami Awareness Day

The day was set by the UN in December 2015 at the initiative of representatives of Japan. This country, located in a seismic region, has accumulated considerable experience in preventing and eliminating the consequences of a tsunami. The goals of this day are to raise awareness of the peculiarities of such a natural disaster as a tsunami, to develop practical steps to prevent the possible destructive and disastrous consequences of this natural disaster. This direction began to develop actively in the UN in 2005 after the terrible 2004 tsunami.

The date of the Day - November 5 - was also chosen on the initiative of the Japanese delegation. This choice is connected with the story of “Inamura-no-hi” about a peasant who donated his property on November 5, 1854 to save the inhabitants of his village. He set fire to his crop, warning the villagers of the danger, thanks to which they were saved. After the tsunami, he took an active part in the restoration of the village.

A tsunami is a series of sea gravitational waves, resulting from a large-scale disturbance in the thickness of sea water. In contrast to storm waves, this wave affects not only the surface layers of water, but also includes the water mass in the ocean. The length of the tsunami is hundreds of kilometers. The speed of this wave in the ocean is more than 700 km / h, exceeding the wind speed.

The main cause of the generating tsunami are underwater earthquakes with a high magnitude (as a rule, it is over 7 points). In addition to earthquakes that cause tsunamis in more than 80% of cases, strong landslides, glaciers, volcanic eruptions, as well as meteorites falling into the ocean can be the cause of the wave.

The nature of the manifestation of a tsunami is suddenness and swiftness, multiplied by the colossal force of the water mass, shaped in the form of a huge wave and falling on the coastal areas of land. No wonder tsunamis are among the most dangerous and deadly natural disasters. This is confirmed by statistical data. The past 20th century was marked by many destructive tsunamis: 1906, 1923, 1938, 1952, 1957, 1960, 1964, 1965, 1971, 1992. In total, over the last century, there were 58 of them.

In the 21st century, the element reminded of itself the most powerful of all known tsunamis in the history of mankind. It occurred in 2004 as a result of a strong underwater earthquake with a magnitude of about 9 points in the Sumatra region in the Indian Ocean. The resulting waves captured not only the Indian, but also the Pacific basin. 14 countries suffered colossal material losses from destruction, and the rest - Indonesia, Thailand, India and Sri Lanka. The number of human victims was about 260 thousand people. Exact numbers have not been named so far due to the fact that many of the dead were carried into the ocean.

Knowing that the main centers of underwater earthquakes causing a tsunami are located in the Pacific and Indian oceans, a warning system was created by interstate efforts. It includes seismographic stations in the creation of a warning system in coastal areas. Its extensive and centralized network should allow time to warn people about the approaching disaster and organize their movement to safe places. And, of course, educating the population of the tsunami-hazardous regions about the signs of an impending natural disaster, actions in a similar situation should also help reduce the number of victims of the elements.

The General Assembly invited all Member States, organizations of the UN system, other international and regional organizations, as well as civil society to properly celebrate this Day in accordance with national priorities in order to raise public awareness of the danger of tsunamis and reduce casualties.

Farewell autumn

November 5

From that day, we were already waiting for winter

As the ancestors noticed, "if a grain (snow pellets, small hail) is sent on Yakov Day, then winter will be on its feet from Matryona Day (November 22)."

There was a ritual to “feed” the earth: they broke the yesterday's cake, left over from the holiday of the Kazan Icon, and scattered pieces in the field, feeding the birds. People believed that birds could soothe the land with their tweets and entreat them to give a good harvest for the next year.

On this day, it was decided to play the so-called bee games - to imitate the buzz of bees and eat honey. It was said that the more honey the host eats and the louder the buzzing, the better the bees will swarm in the spring, and the more honey they will be able to collect next summer.
