0The phrase "unstable terrains" is ungrammatical. It should be "unstable terrain."
The phrase, "within 10 meters of sea level," is unusual and the meaning is unclear. A dwelling built 10 meters below sea level would be in, say, a canyon, which would typically be far from the ocean and not immediately in a hazardous location.
