Mitigation Includes • Signage for awareness • Developing evacuation maps and inundation maps from inundation models • Use of science and technology to identify and assess the hazard (e.g., DEMs and inundation models) • Development and Implementation of Community Education and Outreach Programs • Providing decision-makers with tools to develop tsunami hazard mitigation plans and procedures • Support land use planning • Support improved building codes, standards and practices
