55 - Thoroughly inspect all bullock fencing before a cyclone to cut out any living branches on posts (i.e. purao fences)
56 - Avoid corrosive fencing materials (i.e. barb wire)
57 - Allow glycine to grow over barbed wire fences to provide a physical barrier to salt exposure
147 - Undertake artificial germination of important species (nursery)
148 - Collect and store wildings for replanting
160 - Plant shade trees around and within bullock and pig pastures/enclosures
161 - Keep forested/shade/reserve areas within the farm, so that during drought times, animals can be moved into these cooler naturally moist areas
162 - Bullock may be grazed in the open, but for resting should be brought into forests
163 - Utilize appropriate building materials for livestock enclosres that can withstand climtic extremes
163 - Build special enclosures for pigs to have an appropriate balance of exposure and shelter
164 - Select shady sites for pig enclosures
165 - Provide shade over the chicken fence, either with normal housing roof material or trees.
365 - Tanks should be conically shaped to avoid catching volcanic ash
366 - Utilize cement water tanks in areas with volcanic ash to neutralize water pH
367 - Ensure proper drainage: outflow needs direction away from infrastructures and towards a safer place
368 - Check that hand pumps are properly sealed (at top of bore hole) to prevent contamination and back leakage
369 - Fully check the performance of new systems 3 months – 1 yr after construction
370 - Build homes with cement around the base so as to prevent inundation
371 - Build homes that are raised above ground level to prevent household inundation during floods
372 - Build walls and sea walls to prevent storm surge related flooding
