These include a unique geography that absorbs tsunamis before they reach land, earthquake mitigation strategies such as building codes and seismic isolation systems, early warning systems such as J-Alert, strict building codes and regulations, and tsunami preparedness programs. All these measures combined make it possible for Japanese citizens to live safely even though they are located within the dangerous Ring Of Fire.
