On 12 March 2025, join the Avoidable Deaths Network (ADN) and international communities to celebrate International Awareness Day for Avoidable Deaths (IAD4AD). 

Throughout March, 30 activities hosted by 31 institutions, will amplify the message "Disaster Deaths Are Avoidable", with the ultimate goal of saving lives.

Focused on addressing diverse disaster risks, protecting vulnerable populations, and promoting collaborative prevention in a changing climate, the activities will engage with local communities, local and national governments, United Nations and World Health organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and press/ media organisations across 59 countries.

We invite individuals, communities, and organisations to mark this day and raise awareness of avoidable disaster deaths worldwide with the aims of raising the visibility of disaster deaths, especially indirect disaster deaths and missing persons, and capturing their impact on people’s lives and livelihoods.

For details on the IAD4AD 2025 activities, please follow the hashtag #avoidabledeathsday and visit iad4ad.avoidable-deaths.net.
