• What are the existing conditions, limitations, and opportunities?
• What does the community value?• How do we ensure local ownership?

Other countries face similar problems….
What strategies have they used to overcome them?

Challenges to implementation
Need to develop locally-appropriate solutions

Design Mosques for Vertical Evacuation
• Well-distributed • Typical design:
– symmetric layout– redundant structures – large open prayer areas– egress designed for large numbers
of people– construction quality relatively
better than other structures• Maintenance not an issue• Vital role in education, awareness

Progress from Local Efforts
• Mosques being built for vertical evacuation• Several major roads widened• Additional bridges leading to high ground
constructed• Local government offices and EOC relocated
outside tsunami inundation area• Plans to move commercial center, as well
