Dr. Abdullah Ahmed Al -Mandous, Head of the World Meteorological Organization, called for strengthening international and national efforts in the fields of early monitoring and warning to ensure early warnings of natural disasters due to earthquakes and tsunami waves. He stressed that earthquakes and tsunami are still among the most deadly natural disasters, pointing out that these phenomena represent an upward threat to the safety of man and the global economy. He pointed out that seismic disasters over the past decades, such as the Chilean earthquake in 1960, the Sumatra earthquake in 2004, which left more than 200,000 victims, and the Fukushima earthquake in 2011, confirms that the tsunami waves resulting from marine earthquakes represent a danger
