Note: The protective action given under (2) to (5) will usually involve large amount of costs and

should not be considered for providing lateral stability v. In storm surge prone areas, it will be
preferable to construct the community structures, like schools, cyclone shelters, etc. by raising
thelevelofthegroundprotectedbyprovisionofretainingwallsatsufficientdistanceawayfrom
the building, taken to such depth that no erosion takes place due to receding storm surge.
Alternatively, construct the community structures on stilts with no masonry or bracing upto the
probablemaximumsurgelevel.
