Awareness, education, preparedness, and prediction and warning systems can reduce the disruptive impacts of a natural disaster on communities. Mitigation measures such as adoption of zoning, land-use practices, and building codes are needed, however, to prevent or reduce actual damage from hazards.

Mitigation measures for risks associated with geohazards can broadly be classified in six categories:
land use plans.
enforcement of building codes and good construction practice.
early warning systems.
construction of physical protection barriers.
network of escape routes and "safe" places.
