Tsunami Hazard Mitigation

Tsunami hazard mitigation involves proactive efforts to reduce the impact of tsunamis on communities. This includes developing early warning systems to alert people quickly, constructing seawalls or barriers to protect coastal areas, designing buildings that can withstand flooding, and planning evacuation routes and public education campaigns. The goal is to minimize loss of life, injury, and property damage by preparing communities beforehand and enabling swift, organized responses when a tsunami threat arises. Effective mitigation combines scientific monitoring, infrastructure improvements, and community awareness to enhance resilience against these powerful natural events.
