What are ways to prevent major damages during earthquakes and tsunamis?

Answer 1

Tsunamis are a natural geohazard caused by plate tectonics that result in large-scale underwater earthquakes. Therefore, there is little that can be done (in the same way that human activity cannot prevent earthquakes or volcanic eruptions).

However, we can put tsunami prediction measures in place and evacuate areas where there is an imminent risk of a tsunami. Some environmentalists have recommended planting woodland along the shoreline where there is a high risk of tsunamis because the trees can absorb some of the wave's energy. In the 2004 tsunami some areas protected by trees suffered significantly less damage and fewer deaths than areas that were not protected by trees.

Answer 2

if you think your house is in risk, don't have any thing on high places like shelves etc. and the best of all is to call upon Jesus' name, if you do, he will save you! It's true 100% guarantee =)

Answer 3

If you are building in an area in which earthquakes and/or tsunamis are expected, you can built stronger structures, for example by using 2 by 6 lumber instead of the more usual 2 by 4. Better still, build internal frameworks with steel rather than lumber. Also, you can build closer to the ground. Taller structures are more vulnerable. In the case of tsunamis, you are more vulnerable the closer you are to the shore. High ground is obviously safer from a tsunami, although not necessarily safer from an earthquake. It is also true that no matter what precautions you may take, a sufficiently large earthquake (ten on the Richter scale) will still destroy any structure you can build. But there is no perfect safety, we can only do our best.
