Surveillance: Observation of factors that make the population at risk (surrounding body of water)
Evaluation: Observing underlying patterns (increased rain fall)
Interventions: Control strategies including health education and risk communication - this would be monitoring rising sea levels and informing the public on action plans
Infrastructure: Implementing interventions at the federal and state level (implementing levee system)
Impact Assessment: Ensuring that the interventions undertaken have been effective.
