How can you reduce a tsunami's impact?

Answer 1

Dense mangrove habitats reduce the force of waves and reduce the pressure. Coral reefs may be artificially constructed: these have been shown to reduce the impact of tsunamis. Better education of residents about evacuation procedures. In conjunction with this, early warning systems need to be devised. Building settlements further inland and away from the lowest-lying regions also reduce the impact on people" if people do not live there. impact is minimized. This, however, is rarely economically viable.

Answer 2

By building massive, high walls. The cost of building this protective wall would be very less expensive to the cost of damages caused by tsunamis. If China has built their huge and very long wall a long time ago, why that tsusamis-proof wall can't be constructed today in cities were tsunamis are predictable to happen?

Answer 3

You can build a wall underneath (but high enough to block anything) the deck of a beach so when a tsunami comes you can see it and have time to run away.

Yes,

• sea walls that guard against tsunamis and king tides are useful but expensive.
• moving coastal towns and villages to higher ground is also expensive, but safer.

Answer 4

Plan ahead with emergency measures and evacuation plans and routes already mapped out. Monitor and signal early warnings when conditions for tsunami have occurred. Build on higher ground further from the coast lines. Educate the public on signs of impending tsunami waves and the emergency plan. Build sea walls and barrier reefs.

Answer 5

They can't do amything much because there are gonna be so many people dieing so all they can do is give places to people to live in.

Answer 6

Allow mangrove forest to flourish on the coast and not to grub them out to make way for industrial shrimp lagoons

Answer 7

You can not minimize the affect of a tsunami. We have no way of predicting them.

Answer 8

Run to a Hilly Place

Grab on to large floating debris and hang on, if you are escaping after the wave hits. You may get injured, but this step could save your life.

Answer 9

You don't, let the government handle it.
