This could include designing the ground levels of seaside buildings to permit storm-induced surges to pass through without flooding the lower floors, thus minimizing potential damage to offices and homes. In addition, construction in coastal areas damaged by extreme events could be prohibited, as has been done in Hilo, Hawaii.
无论如何，更严格的建筑法规是沿岸地区工程的关键点。这可以包括设计海滨建筑地平面，允许风暴潮在不淹没低层的情况下通过，从而最小化办公室和住宅的潜在破坏。此外，可以禁止在被极端事件摧毁的沿岸地区进行开发建设，比如夏威夷希罗的做法。
