2015年の国連総会で制定。1854年のこの日に和歌山県を大津波が襲った際、ある村人が、収穫した稲むらに火をつけて人々に危険を知らせて多くの命を救い、復興にも尽力したという逸話が由来。津波防災の意識向上を目指し、早期警報や情報共有の重要性を訴える。

1854, the Charge of Scarlett's 300 or Heavy Brigade at Balaclava. Such a dreadful event for men and horses, but a brilliantly dynamic evocation of it (after Stanley Berkeley, c.1890). Thanks . https://t.co/uoWdPlLfr0

The Myth of Martyrdom. He cast himself in a dazzling array of roles, both on and off the page. Can history restore the full measure of Wilde’s complexity?
