Planning Activities

We can all make a meaningful contribution to International Awareness Day for Avoidable Deaths. Consider focusing your activity on raising the profile of avoidable disaster deaths through local or national media, or social media, or other forms of outlets.

Please be mindful to remain consistent with the 13 key global messages recommended by ADN.

Activities and events marking International Awareness Day for Avoidable Deaths can take place at local, national and regional levels. These may include seminars, webinars, campaign launches, report launch, and press conferences.

For in-person events, a few ideas and suggestions are provided in How can I use International Awareness Day for Avoidable Deaths in my setting? and International Awareness Day for Avoidable Deaths: Guidance for Organisations.

Be mindful of national and local COVID-19 protocols and mobility restrictions for in-person events.
