Petra Nemcova joined the United Nations’ commemoration of the Day for the inaugural World Tsunami Awareness Day on 5 November.
“It’s like a concrete building, not water, falling on you,” Petra Nemcova, a 37-year-old fashion model and philanthropist, told the UN News Centre, describing the impact of the Indian Ocean Tsunami on 26 December 2004, which hit her and her partner in a bungalow on a Thai beach.
