Скачать или смотреть Reducing Damage Before a Major Earthquake Strikes

California, Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia are only a select few of multiple locations around the globe that could face not only major earthquakes but also tsunamis. Yet, while these disasters might feel unstoppable, it is fully possible to severely reduce the damage that they end up causing. Yes, you can even reduce a tsunami's run-up height, with the correct infrastructure. This video will briefly cover three differing points on how as a whole the damage from these disasters can be reduced.

Full disclosure: I am a geologist and not a true engineer, so there is the potential that my explanations of the subject matter in today's video could be somewhat incorrect.
