Damage could be reduced by keeping nearby coral reefs healthy rather than half-dead. Also If the poweplant backup generators were higher off the ground or on the roof, there wouldn't be so much damage

Reducing Tsunami impacts:
1) Have necessary Earthquake/Tsunami warning and alert systems to allow the people/civilians to quickly evacuate the area to prevent further accidents from happening
2) Educate the people on evacuation methods when encountering a/an Earthquake/Tsunami
3) Have regular Earthquake/Tsunami drills to have the people know about the necessary precautions needed when an actual disaster occurs
4) Install alarms in buildings to enable earlier evacuation
5) Have good flood-reducing systems in the event of floods happening after Tsunamis
6) Have good contact with foreign emergency services for worldwide assistance if needed
7) Plan evacuation routes that lead to higher grounds

How can the effects of the Tsunami be reduced?
1. Have early preparation and an efficient early warning system to evacuate the people in the area which the Tsunami will strike.
2. Have regular Tsunami / Earthquake drills in school so that the students will know what to do when a Tsunami / Earthquake hits.
3. Have the people to have their houses / buildings made out of flexible things such as bamboo instead of hard things such as brick so that when a Tsunami / Earthquake strikes, people who are trapped inside the houses / buildings won't get damaged that much.
4. If your at the beach or somewhere at the coast and see the sea level receding, evacuate the people in that area immediately because it's a sign that a Tsunami will strike

How can the effects of a tsunami be reduced?
1)informing people to evacuate when there is an earthquake so they could get to higher grounds before the tsunamis strike.
2)using mangrove forest minimizes the efficiency of tsunami attacks.
3)use flexible type of materials for building houses instead of traditional materials such as bricks.
4)teach people how to act when a tsunami strikes could save a few more lives.
5)forest,beams and slopes could slow down the tsunami and weakened it before it reaches the city.
6)tall walls can act as a barrier to block out the waves.
7)plan an evacuation route to higher grounds so people know where to go when a tsunami hits the area.

How can the impacts of the tsunami be reduced?
Although it was IMPOSSIBLE to prevent tsunamis from happening...
having good preparation and a warning system for it can do much less damage. First, try to predict where and when the tsunami will happen. Second, prepare the local people and emergency services for the disaster. Third, have drills so that the locals are prepared.

What happens when there is NO preparation and a warning system?

Firstly, when the earthquake happens, notify the local people or those in the area to evacuate the buildings or streets and get to a higher.
