How does a groyne work?
Groynes are placed so as to reduce coastal (or riverside) erosion.In the coastal case, they interrupt the flow of sediment along the coast, and accumulate it alongside the groyne.

Once the people have been informed, evacuation routes must be provided so that they can all leave quickly and safely, even if they travel by foot. Emergency warnings and evacuation plans are not enough, though. Where there is a high risk of earthquakes, buildings need to be strong and... (more)
