Every November 5, the world unites to raise awareness about the dangers of tsunamis and the importance of preparedness. While tsunamis cannot be prevented, their impact can be greatly reduced through early warning systems, proper education, and community preparedness.

Let’s stand together in promoting safety, resilience, and solidarity. Whether we live near the coast or far inland, we all have a role in building a culture of preparedness.

Stay informed. Stay alert. Stay safe.

Fever, cough, sore throat, and body pain — these might not just be signs of a regular cold. According to the World Health Organization, 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐳𝐚-𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐈𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 (𝐈𝐋𝐈) is an infection that starts with a fever of at least 38°C and a cough within 10 days.

These illnesses spread quickly through coughs, sneezes, or touching contaminated surfaces that’s why prevention is key!
