Reducing the risk of natural hazards
Design solution
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
This will be a lot easier with HICs as they have more money to support such advanced technology
Flooding- buildings should be raised off the ground
Tsunami- Tsunami walls
Some poorer countries better prepared
Monitoring and Prediction
monitoring tectonic activity may help with the prediction of earthquakes
Scientist using seismometers
Harder for LICs as they don't have enough money to pay for. the equipment
weather and wind speeds
tiltmeter meausuring the angle of the landscape
learning lessons
further development
Educating from a younger age
Governments learning from the previous natural disaster
Well equip emergency services
Governments Improve
Evacuation
Japanese natural earthquake day
Setting up hazard mapping
Good evacuation zones
Drills
Media spreading the earthquake warning
Local weather channels warning people to evacuate buildings
HICs better prepared
In Pacific there are tsunami warnings
Modernizing early warning systems in Bangladesh (LIC)
First aid
Education
Keeping emergency supplies in the home e.g California
Educating the public of the dangers
Having a safe room in your basement which is well supplied
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
Having a plan and an arrangement with other countries so when an earthquake hits they can supply food , water and medical aid
