Question

what kind of infrastructural facilities are required in rural/urban communities living in coastal areas or flood plain areas or earthquake prone areas.?

Answer 1

Infrastructures needed in flood plains are houses built on raised platforms or stilts, proper warning systems for flood detection. In coastal areas there should be proper tide and storm detection facilities. Houses should be built away from the coast line, they should be designed to make them storm proof. In earthquake prone areas houses should be built with light materials like wood, so that they can be rebuilt easily. They should be built far apart and there should be enough open places where people can take refuge during the quakes.
