Sonath Abdul Sattarさんは、2004年にインド洋大津波がモルディブ共和国を襲ったときのことを思い起こします。

インド洋大津波の発生は、Sonathさんの人生の中できわめて重要な瞬間でした。その後、Sonathさんは母国の救援のためにボランティア活動を始めました。そして、防災管理分野でのキャリアをスタートさせました。このキャリアパスが最終的に、Sonathさんを国連ユニタールの津波防災に関する女性のリーダーシップ研修への参加と来日に導きました。, モルディブ共和国は、世界で最も低地にある小島嶼開発途上国であり、地表からの平均の高さは海抜わずか1.5メートルです。気候変動と海面上昇により、島全体は以前より大きな海面のうねり、強風、豪雨にさらされています。災害への備えは、国の存続や人々の生存のために不可欠です。
