Protecting against geological hazards

Description

Protecting against geological hazards involves implementing practical measures to reduce risks from earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and similar threats. Essential actions include hazard mapping, enforcing land-use regulations, strengthening infrastructure, establishing early warning systems, and promoting community preparedness. These strategies aim to minimize loss of life, property damage, and disruption by ensuring that vulnerable populations and structures are identified, informed, and equipped to respond effectively to geological emergencies.
