Question

Tsunamis are disasters that cannot be prevented. However, after the tsunami in Indonesia in 2004, many island nations developed early warning systems to alert the people when the ocean tides were rising. This allows people to get to higher ground before the tsunami hits, decreasing the loss of life and devastation from a tsunami. This is an example of what?

A. Preparation
B. Response
C. Recovery
D. Mitigation

Answer 1

D.) Mitigation.

Explanation:

- The answer is D because Mitigation means to prevent something from happening, ad in the example they prevented the tsunami from destructing and/or harming anyone.

Answer 2

Answer: D. Mitigation

Explanation: What pops out to me in this question is "decreasing the loss of life and devastation from a tsunami." I thought it was A for a second but I remembered the definition of Mitigation. Mitigation means the action of reducing the severity, seriousness, or painfulness of something. This means that this was here to decrease the loss of people. If this answer so happens to be incorrect, A should be the correct answer. But here they are trying to reduce losing people therefore, D would be the correct answer.
