A square wall should be constructed with a corner facing the coast line. A gate should be made at the rear. In Israel walls are common around communities. Damp coursing should be made at first & second floor levels & buildings beyond the corner & gate should be convex in design, also the next street. The foundations need to be raised about four feet on the highest side. Helipad at centre.
Construction materials can be wasted when they are in short supply, even if survival of the occupants is in serious doubt. Make your disaster like Venice.
Feedback: The Tsunami! it travels almost the speed of sound.
I hope the water level is reduced, to leave something. It is called New Jerusalem I believe & I want it reconstructed eventually.
