The idea is to build small hills in low-lying parts of the city, with level tops that could be used as parks or sports fields. With the few minutes’ warning that an earthquake’s strong shaking would automatically provide, people could walk to a TEREP and be safe above the highest level a tsunami could reach.
地质灾害国际因此也在积极寻找可行的对策，这就是启动海啸避难高地公园（TEREP）项目。具体地讲就是在城市的低洼地带堆起小山，并将小山的平顶用作公园或者运动场所。这样在地震的剧烈晃动提前几分钟自动发出警报之后，人们就可以走到海啸避难高地公园，在海啸无法波及的地方安然度过灾难时刻。
