Defense Strategies For Earthquakes/Tsunamis
Building safer structures HIC/MIC
Public building like hospitals tend to be built to a higher standard. HIC/MIC
building codes are important- MIC
The best way to protect any building and its occupants is wise placement MIC/HIC
Earthquakes can cause fires, so protecting loose wires can reduce the risk of fires.
(HIC/MIC)
Upgrading buildings can improve their safety and protect occupants from earthquakes better. MIC/HIC
Public knowledge about living in an earthquake prone area is important so people can identify hazards before they happen. HIC/MIC/LIC
women and children are most vulnerable so everyone should have knowledge about it.
People should learn how to recognise local hazards, so they can recognise early signs of approach and flee to safety earlier. HIC/MIC/LIC- all
Trees and coastal forests provide natural protection HIC/MIC/LIC
This is also risky because should the trees fall over, they can cause more damage. MIC
staying on high ground can prevent risks from tsunamis.
Buildings further from the ocean or located higher up stand the best chance of survival during a tsunami LIC/MIC/HIC
Sea walls or breakwaters can be built along the shore for more protection (but they can create a problem if they are not studied properly). HIC
Early warning systems allow people to escape and reach safer place HIC/MIC
Early warning systems should be easily recognisable and loud. HIC/MIC
School and Hospital should be on higher ground because they could be shelter point so that they could be safe. (HIC/MIC/LIC)
Educating communities about how to respond to natural disasters can reduce casualties majorly. All countries (MIC/HIC/LIC)
Building placement is very important in places that have tsunami's, it can save a lot of lives. MIC/HIC
Avoid building or living in buildings within several hundred feet of the coastline MIC/LIC
Buildings should have strong foundations so that there is less risk of a collapse. MIC/HIC
Concrete is the best option for sturdy foundation as it's durable and not damaged by moisture. Metal is also a good material to use when working with concrete so that it provides extra rigity
