ìPublic education programs and evacuation strategies
ìBuildings can be constructed to survive the wave with repairable
damage
ìWarning systems mean impending tsunamis can be picked up by
sensors. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as
loudspeaker networks to alert the public
ìSensitive buildings like nuclear power plants will be sited as
far away from the coast as is possible and designed to shut down into
"safe mode" as soon as an earthquake is detected.
ìSea barriers are sometime put up around strategic areas like harbors and ports -
but their effectiveness is not particularly well-established.
