ONOLIMBU - SUBSIDENCE or FAULT DISPLACEMENT

We cant comment yet on the submersion being a fault line displacement or subsidence due to soft liquid soils. I saw evidence of a fault line with a step of over a meter well inland.

Incredibly many traditional structures survived the intense shaking fairly well.
Even well built concrete buildings floated through it intact. The real problem is that the entire area is now not only vulnerable to future tsunamis but certain to flood badly.

The tsunami escape vehicles may be needed when the rains come and that is not acceptable. This area needs special attention

There are some interesting steel solutions that Blue Scope Lysaght have developed for flood prone areas. Floors float up the columns keeping everything dry then drop down for ease of access when the waters receed.

Any other ideas?
