One of the coastal
hazards that Morocco has and could face again is tsunamis. In past history
Morocco was faced with a major devastating earthquake that took many lives
(Agadir 1960). The location of the country increases its vulnerability due to
the increased probability of tsunami resulting from potential earthquake. The
prevention method I think that should be put in place is a defensive tsunami
wall. Also a vulnerability map will be useful
to help plan and prevent the onset of a tsunami.This will help
reduce the impact to the land. Morocco has
already developed a forecasting and flood warning system. Morocco plans to create a National
Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction.
