2021 Multijurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan Table 21-7. Alternatives to Mitigate the Tsunami Hazard Personal-Scale Corporate-Scale Government-Scale  Manipulate the hazard:  None  Reduce exposure:  Locate outside of hazard area  Reduce vulnerability:  Apply personal property mitigation techniques to your home such as anchoring your foundation and foundation openings to allow flow though.  Build local capacity:  Develop and practice a household evacuation plan  Educate yourself on the risk exposure from the tsunami hazard and ways to minimize that risk  Understand tsunami warning signs and signals  Manipulate the hazard:  None  Reduce exposure:  Locate structure or mission critical functions outside of hazard area whenever possible  Reduce vulnerability:  Mitigate personal property for the impacts of tsunami  Build local capacity:  Develop and practice a corporate evacuation plan  Educate employees on the risk exposure from the tsunami hazard and ways to minimize that risk  Manipulate the hazard:  Build wave abatement structures (e.g. the “Jacks” looking structure designed by the Japanese)  Reduce exposure:  Locate structure or functions outside of hazard area whenever possible  Harden infrastructure for tsunami impacts  Relocate identified critical facilities located in tsunami high hazard areas  Reduce vulnerability:  Adopt higher regulatory standards that will provide higher levels of protection to structures built in a tsunami inundation area  Utilize tsunami mapping to guide development away from high risk areas through land use planning  Build local capacity:  Use probabilistic tsunami mapping and land use guidance from the state when published  Provide incentives to guide development away from hazard areas  Improve the tsunami warning and response system  Provide community members with tsunami inundation maps  Join NOAA’s Tsunami Ready program  Develop and communicate evacuation routes  Enhance the public information program to include risk reduction options for the tsunami hazard 21-8
