Geological hazard mitigation

Geological hazard mitigation involves planning and actions taken to reduce the risks and impacts of natural geological events, like earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. This includes studying and understanding hazards, designing resilient infrastructure, implementing building codes, creating early warning systems, and avoiding high-risk areas for development. The goal is to protect lives, property, and the environment by minimizing damage and enabling quicker recovery when such events occur. Essentially, it's about preparing and adapting our communities to safely coexist with the Earth's dynamic processes.
