Tsunami

I . After the devastating impact of the 2004 tsunami that hit countries in South Asia , the affected nations sought to rebuild the areas by providing funding to locals to construct houses and start livelihood projects . Nations from all over the world sent aids in goods and millions of dollars to the affected areas to facilitate the rebuilding of the devastated communities

Tsunamis can 't be stopped , but there are ways to lessen the extent of destruction . For tsunami-prone areas , the building of very tall walls could be

done to protect the dwellings near the sea from the giant waves . The walls could also delay and lessen the impact of the waves Sophisticated monitoring systems can be employed to monitor wave movements in to provide the residents with warnings well before the tsunamis would hit . Trees could also be

planted along the shorelines to break the movements of the waves and considerably lessen the tsunamis height when they reach the shores

There is no foolproof method in dealing with tsunamis . But having a contingency plan and a disaster-coordinating agency can help prevent deaths to coastal dwellers . Mangroves should be preserved and encouraged to grow to protect the residents
