Reducing the risk of natural hazards

Design solution

Monitoring and Prediction

learning lessons

Evacuation

Japanese natural earthquake day

monitoring tectonic activity may help with the prediction of earthquakes

Setting up hazard mapping

Good evacuation zones

Drills

Having well designed skyscrapers e.g Japan

rubber shock absorbers in foundation

steel frames that can sway when an earthquake hits

Open outside areas for people to assemble

further development

Educating from a younger age

Scientist using seismometers

This will be a lot easier with HICs as they have more money to support such advanced technology

Harder for LICs as they don't have enough money to pay for. the equipment

Governments learning from the previous natural disaster

Education

Keeping emergency supplies in the home e.g California

Educating the public of the dangers

Well equip emergency services

Having a safe room in your basement which is well supplied

Flooding- buildings should be raised off the ground

Tsunami- Tsunami walls

Media spreading the earthquake warning

Local weather channels warning people to evacuate buildings

HICs better prepared

Some poorer countries better prepared

weather and wind speeds

In Pacific there are tsunami warnings

Modernizing early warning systems in Bangladesh (LIC)

tiltmeter meausuring the angle of the landscape

Governments Improve

HIC better prepared as of easier communications

Support systems

Having good connections with HICs

Having reasurance of support

Japan and telecommunications AC & C from America

First aid

Having a plan and an arrangement with other countries so when an earthquake hits they can supply food , water and medical aid
