Some steps to mitigate the effects of floods:

1. Build sea walls with concrete, rocks and sand bags along strategic sea shores to hold extra water during times of flooding.
2. Follow proper town planning when buildings are erected. This will ensure that waterways are not blocked.
3. Make sure that drainage systems are not blocked by garbage and rain water quickly run through them.
4. Trees, shrubs and grass help protect the land from erosion by running water. Encourage tree plantation.
5. Education and awareness are necessary to inform people about the dangers of floods and what they must do in times of floods.
6. Weather reports and advance flood warning systems should be introduced so that people in the zone of flooding can be evacuated to safer places.
