                                        1. Stages of hazard management
                                        2. Mitigation and adaption strategies
                                          1. Mitigation = actions and interventions that a community may take to reduce vulnerability in advance of a tectonic hazard event.
                                            1. Adaption = ways communities may be able to live with a tectonic hazard by making adjustments
