B. Develop robust disaster evacuation plans and conduct frequent practice drills. When evacuation is impossible in the anticipated warning time, consider vertical evacuation for tsunamis, other physical measures to shorten evacuation time, such as pedestrian bridges over rivers, or relocate campuses with extreme life safety risk to locations outside of hazard zones when possible. C. Enhance life safety by improving public awareness of earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic events, and other natural hazards that pose substantial life safety risk to the facilities, students, staff, and volunteers. District’s Goal 2: Reduce Damage to District Facilities, Economic Losses, and Disruption of the Services District’s Objectives: A. Retrofit or replace existing buildings with a high vulnerability to one or more natural hazards to reduce damage, economic loss, and disruption in future disaster events. B. Ensure that new facilities are adequately designed for hazard events and located outside of mapped high hazard zones to minimize damage and loss of function in future disaster events, to the extent practicable. Goal 3: Enhance Emergency Planning, Disaster Response, and Post-Disaster Recovery Objectives: A. Enhance collaboration and coordination between the District, local governments, utilities, businesses, and citizens to prepare for, and recover from, future natural disaster events. B. Enhance emergency planning to facilitate effective response and rapid recovery from future natural disaster events. Goal 4: Increase Awareness and Understanding of Natural Hazards and Mitigation Objectives: A. Implement education and outreach efforts to increase awareness of natural hazards throughout the ABC School District, including staff, parents, teachers, and the entire communities served by the District. B. Maintain and publicize a natural hazards section in the high school library with FEMA and other publications and distribute FEMA and other brochures and other educational materials regarding natural hazards. 4.4 ABC School District Hazard Mitigation Plan Action Items Mitigation Action Items may include a wide range of measures such as: refinement of policies, studies, and data collection to better characterize hazards or risk, education,
