Introduction -- Principle 1. Know your community's tsunami risk: hazard, vulnerability, and exposure -- 2. Avoid new development in tsunami run-up areas to minimize future tsunami losses -- 3. Locate and configure new development that occurs in tsunami run-up areas to minimize future tsunami losses -- 4. Design and construct new buildings to minimize tsunami damage -- 5. Protect existing development from tsunami lossess through redevelopment, retrofit, and land reuse plans and projects -- 6. Take special precautions in locating and designing infrastructure and critical facilities to minimize tsunami damage -- 7. Plan for evacuation
