The day also recognizes volunteer storm spotters, observers, and others who work in the weather field.
Disaster Day – “Disaster Day” is observed every year on February 5. It is a day to raise awareness about the different types of disasters that can and have occurred and the implications they have on the world and its beings. “Disaster Day” also highlights the importance of disaster management and the training that is necessary to tackle it.
Dump Your Significant Jerk Day – “National Dump Your Significant Jerk Day” is celebrated around the world on the first Sunday in February of each year and this year will be held on February 5. Do you or someone you know have a relationship with someone who is just plain awful? The answer is most likely yes. Fear not, “Dump Your Significant Jerk Day” is the perfect occasion for finally getting rid of that jerk once and for all! This holiday encourages those who need a little push to reclaim their lives and stop allowing themselves to be mistreated. Ironically, it’s during the month of love, but I think that makes it even better sense because self-love is just as important.

International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation –
Falls on February 6 each year. Despite being in the 21st century, it’s deeply disturbing that this violent tradition still exists. You’d be surprised how common it is — from Africa and Eastern Europe to Arab countries, Asia, and Latin America. Removing external female genitalia has roots in thousands of years of gender inequality. Some cultures view it as a rite of passage into womanhood. Others practice it to control a woman’s sexuality and pleasure. The U.N. General Assembly has declared February 6 as International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation to raise awareness about this humanitarian crisis.

Founded in 1910, by American W.D. Boyce, the Boy Scouts of America has helped shape many of our nation’s leaders. According to legend, Boyce was lost on a foggy street in London when an unknown Scout helped him by guiding him back to his hotel. When the boy refused a tip, explaining that he was only doing his duty as a Scout, Boyce was inspired to bring the teachings of the British Boy Scout Association back to the U.S.
National Kite-Flying Day – Get set to feel the wind in your face, the line in your hand, and the liberating feeling one gets when flying a kite. It’s National Kite-Flying Day after all.

Then, find an open field, start running, and hope for the best. Oh, and pray for wind.
