Q1B. With neat sketch describe any 2 mitigation measures for developing coping capacity to create resilience against Tsunami [5 marks]
Answer
Diagram: Tsunami: displacement → propagation → inundation. Labels: Tsunami: displacement → propagation → inundation | Tsunami: displacement → propagation → inundation | 1 · Seafloor displacement | 2 · Waves propagate | 3 · Move to designated | safe high ground | The tsunami can be a series of waves; do not return after the first wave.
- Warning linked to evacuation. Combine tsunami monitoring and official alerts with signs, drills and accessible routes to safe high ground. Residents must also recognise natural warning signs when official lead time is too short.
- Reduce physical vulnerability. Use risk-informed coastal siting, suitable resilient construction and protected lifelines. Designated safe shelters or vertical evacuation structures require engineering assessment; ordinary buildings are not automatically safe.
